[compost_tea] Re pre brew innoculatied :fungal compost test results!



Hi folks,
 
As many of you know, I am a big proponent of growing fungi in whatever compost you use BEFORE making tea with it.  Several on this list have been able to successfully  grow fungi in their compost, however, none of us has tested (or published tests) the theory with SFI tests.
 
I just ran the first test of some AH in which I had grown fungi to my liking....nice, long white fungal threads with really good "holding" power such that the humus held the form when dumped upside down from its container.
 
The results of the preliminary SFI test just came in and I posted them in the list's "File" section.....under "Lowe95550prelim."   With fungal numbers in the  mid 30's both active and total (!), I think we have the answer to getting a fungal tea. Check out the file and see what you think! Note that I didn't add any sugars.....
 
I will wait for the final test results and run the tests a few more times. However, I've made and tested enough teas to know that this is no fluke. Pre inoculation, at least of AH, works.
 
Any one else TESTED a prebrew inoculated compost/humus? If so, please share your results.
 
Cheers,
 
Jeff
