Mike,

Yes, they do have testimonials over multiple seasons, but only 2 or 3 at th=
e most. The product has only been available here in Australia for maybe 4 o=
r 5 years.

I suspect you are right. The testimonials are usually grain growers who hav=
e hammered their soils over many years and have compacted lifeless soil. Af=
ter one application the soils become less compacted, better structured, wit=
h longer roots and better growth of the crops. Exactly what you would expec=
t with much improved microbiology. Most of the improvement they see is like=
ly to be in the 1st year.
