I've just prepared another brew and wonder what is
going to happen to the microbes when they hit the cold leaves and cold ground
when it is sprayed out. Night temps are down to 50 F and 60 F during the days
just now. Aren't they going to get a big shock and perish after enjoying a warm
environment?
Other thoughts/queries I have: The compost
heap is very cold - are there exactly the same microbes in a cold winter
heap as in a warm summer heap? If they are different, then shouldn't the CT brew
made with this compost be left unheated?
My finished compost heap is now becoming invaded by
1000's of worms and there is no longer any visible fungi. Should a finished
compost pile be bagged up and taken inside so the worms don't get in?
An observation I made yesterday when I scooped out
the compost for this latest CT brew - I always return the bags of compost and
lucerne hay from the previous CT back to the compost heap. This time both are
full of worms. They must be enjoying a feast of microbes still
present.
