Re Fungi and tilling. I’m still trying to grasp this one. By tilling soil we’re killing a lot of the
fungi, I can understand that. But
in our composts, we are supposed to turn them to keep them aerated and to keep
the temps from going too high and killing the b and f… Is there not a conflict here? Doesn’t turning the compost then kill our fungi too? What effect too, does putting them in a
bubbling and turbulent brewer that bounces them about in their compost bags –
they’re bounced around when we dig into the compost piles, then when we fill
the bag, then when we place the bag in the barrel, then turn on the brewer,
then they have to get out of the bag into the brew, then the pump to get them
into the sprayer, ugh, the sprayer…….. Am I thinking about this too much????? I’m finally getting some nice white strands in my compost
(thanks to the seminar, I’ve made some major changes in my composting !!). I’ve almost become friends with my new
compost companions – thank goodness I have no neighbors close by to see me
talking with my fungi -- I’m afraid to turn it and kill them. He’p me here!! I’ve
become a (ok, more of) fanatic these days… Mike -----Original
