Re: RES: [compost_tea] Micronized Compost



Micronized compost has not ever been shown to contain the organisms you require to suppress disease, retain nutrients, cycle nutrients back into a plant available form, decompose toxins in the soil, or build soil structure so water use can be reduced, roots will grow deeper into soil, and reduce erosion. 

24-hour, aerobic compost tea contains the wonderfully diverse set of beneficial organisms form the compost, in an ACTIVE, living form that can grow and glue themselves to your leaf surfaces very rapidly, suppressing, competing with, inhibiting and consuming the disease organisms that come to land on your leaves or  root systems.

Active organisms - that's the clue.

Micronized compost does not contain those organisms (unless you add them back with a compost tea).

But, micronized compost contains the nutrients and food resources from the compost, so if that is why you want compost, as a food resource for your organisms, then micronized compost is great to add a foods for your critters in your soil or on your leaf surfaces.  All the nutrients your compost organisms need!
