Hi Dan -

You can ALWAYS find some disease in any compost. Just like you look in your
digestive system, and you will always find E. coli. It's there, it's normal.

But do you need to worry? If you have decent organism diversity, the whole
foodweb present, then no, you don't have to worry. We'll tell you if the
only thing you have in your compost is mildew. It has a noticeable
morphology. Or if you have just actinobacteria, not good. We'll tell you.

We have just started the Beneficial Organism Assay, where we will assess if
you have THE beneficial bacterial species. Please stay tuned on the website
for this information. So now you can tell for certain if you have the good
guys, or if you need to add them with an inoculum.

Hope this helps!
