Re: [compost_tea] Re: Chili powder?



Diversity is the key.  You need to have some areas of the pile that you have allowed bacteria and fungi to grow that tolerate and actually consume those good aromatic compounds!

Just don't make the WHOLE pile out of onions.  Or garlic.  The more kinds of food resources, balanced nicely for the desired fungal or bacterial ratio will do the trick.  Other people think of C:N ratio here, I think of F:B ratios.
