Re: [compost_tea] microbes & B12



Thanks elaine
the epilobium obviously thrives in wet soil as the site in question is totally waterlogged. That being the case - anaerobic bacteria must be the culprits- right?. as drainage has not improved the situation will the addition of beneficial fungi alone do the job?

Two good questions there, which can only be answered by the appropriate testing. 

First, a tea brew where you add the B12, and see what the biology is once you add it, as compared to the without brew.  No other way to figure this out.  Wish there was a testing fund for this!

Epilobium generally needs slightly bacterial, so pushing good fungi should exit the weed.  But pay attention to the place it typically grows.  Can you give us all a hint about where you always find this weed?  What does mother nature tell you about its requirements?
