[compost_tea] Re: Best Environmental Technologies?
Hi James,
I live in Geraldton, Western Australia and went to a tm21 best seminar a ye=
ar or so ago and I asked Martin Straper (the presenter and ex csiro scienti=
st) what was in it and he said " no micro-organisms, just food to stimulate=
them." The product is a black thin liquid, my guess is it possibly a mix o=
f fulvic acid, molasses, kelp etc...
The actual ingredients are their trade secrets I suppose, otherwise who wou=
ld buy it when we can make our own..and they have to pay for their product,=
research, marketing etc.. somehow.
Whether it is produces any better results than a liquid bact/and or fungal =
food mix to your soil is something you would have to trial.
Hope this helps.
Kind regards
