Yes, it takes two weeks at 72 F for the protozoa to get going and wake up to the fact you have improved the bacteria.

So, adding the inoculum can be important to get the nutrient cycling going right away.

72 F, interesting.  So a soil sample showing low protozoa taken in April when the soil is say 55 F might show OK protozoa when soil warms to 72 +F six weeks later?

Soil temp vs organism density.  Is there a chart or rule of thumb?
