May I ask what evidence there is for not adding food sources to "finished"
tea? And may I also ask what defines "finished"?
I understand people to have a wealth of experience looking at microscopes,
and I respect that, we do as well. But very rarely do I see anyone connect
this microscope reality with their effects on growing plants. That's the
point in the end, right? How are we so sure we know when something is
"finished" when we have no biological baseline of what it "should" be?
For instance, I just got off the phone with a humic acid distributor who
works globally from Germany. We had a very interesting conversation about
humic acids in regards to having no baseline. There is no objective way to
say one is better than the other except results considering it depends on
oxidization, rate of oxidization, source material, binding sites (COOH, OH),
fulvic:humic ratio, etc. And all humic molecules are not the same, even the
one structured similarly.
This is even more complicated and true with microbes. One cannot measure
true diversity, or more importantly strength or ability, of microbes under a
microscope. We're all humans, and one of us may be the most accomplished
soccer player (N cycler) on the planet, but we cannot tell that through a
conversation or by looking at the individual. This ability is discounted
when we look materialistically through a microscope. This "strength and
ability" is one of the factors that defines BioDynamic composts and the
organisms associated.
We have used compost tea brewed for over 4 months perpetually by adding
humus, catalysts, and food sources daily with spectacular results. Granted,
it may not be perfect, but, again, what does "perfect" mean if we are not
attaching what we are telling ourselves to the results of growing plants?
Be a farmer, start a garden.
