Elaine - you must have made a good recovery from your flight across the Pac=
ific. I'm not able to come to your Coff's Harbour seminar but I'm hoping ou=
r Greenkeeper will be there.
What I'm puzzled about is this. If I produced a tea with great numbers like=
the above, wouldn't it get pretty smelly within a couple of days? Wouldn't=
the trillions of microbes be using up all the available dissolved oxygen a=
nd then the sample would become smelly?
The last two CT's I made were each brewed for 2 days. One litre samples of=
each brew were poured into two litre bottles and kept in a cool spot and b=
oth smelled perfectly OK after two days. Were they any good? It looked good=
and smelled good but, without sending it away to Lismore for testing, coul=
d it be an effective CT?
Any greenkeepers in this group? Suppose you want to plant dozens of trees b=
etween two fairways, or along a boundary (so that passing cars don't get da=
maged), how do you prepare the area for planting?
If these are dumb questions and indicate that I learnt nothing much at thre=
e previous seminars of Elaine's, I'll just have to drop everything and come=
down to Coff's Harbour :- ))
Scott Alexander.
