Hi Elaine,
I remember going around to different ponds and getting water
samples and looking at the protozoa that was in the water. Many were
stagnant ponds. Do protozoa stay attached to organic material? Are
the Soil Soup and Growing Systems brewers somehow filtering out all the
protozoa? What is it about the Soil Soup and Growing Systems brewers that
needs to be improved? Have you advised the two companies of the
improvements that are needed?

Tom J is correct on the worm compost - all good worm
composts contain GREAT numbers of protoza, easily extracted into tea when
using an actively aerated CT machine.
Do not expect any good protozoa
when using either Soil Soup or Growing Solutions systems. Only if the
GSI system is improved the way Hendrikus Schraven has shown is possible can
you get passable protozo extracted.
Otherwise, the EPM, KIS, AG,
Sottilo, Earthwise, WormGold, Bob Norsen, Hronek brewers (all the ones that
stay aerobic during brewing), extract protozoa from the compost, and allow
them to survive, just fine in the tea. As long as you have good protozoa
numbers in the compost.
