Re: [compost_tea] Humisolve



Your beneficial fungi are saying "thank you so much for some good food".  And the plants reap benefits by having the mycorrhizal fungi finally taking off on the roots, most likely, as well as the fungi that solubilize nutrients from your potting mix finally having enough foods to do their job.  Don't have to use the inorganic fertilizers if you get the soil life back into operation.  

The fungi build soil structure, and thus oxygen and water gets into the root system much more easily.  Instead of the water puddling on the soil surface, it moves into the soil where the roots need the water.  Less water is used, because the plants get the water you apply, instead of it channeling through hte soil, or getting stuck on the soil surface. 

I'd just like to do some testing on all the different kinds of humic acid products, and let people know what the different humic acids do, and which ones help which fungi more or less.

Any interest in folks putting together a fund to do that?  

We did this for worms vs E. coli, and the experiment is coming along, with the help of Full Circle LLC.  We've ordered the materials for the experiment, and will be getting underway soon. For those of you who contributed money to SSI for the work, I thank you for helping get the experiment underway!  Data will be coming soon!
