Re: [compost_tea] Re: Defining what is compost tea exactly



After Kirk and I hash out some of the points that we are dancing around, then I'll put the info on the list serve.  But I think the hashing out process does not need to be on the list serve and take up people's time.  I suspect we'd just confuse people very much.

When the compost has great fungal biomass, but those fungi aren't coming out in the brew, it says the brewer isn't extracting the fungi, or those fungi are being destroyed during the brewing process. 

As you change things to try to stop the fungi from being lost, you probably need to test for just active fungi and total fungi, until you see some improvement.  I am not an engineer, so I can't really tell what is causing the reductions.  I learned my lesson on getting involved in the engineering part the hard way.  I leave engineering to the engineers now.  We just test the tea so you know if the machine is doing what it is supposed to do.
