Re: [compost_tea] pre innoculation
Ah, folks, hold on. About fungi in tea.
We extract the fungi from the compost, so the compost must have adequate fungi.
If your compost doesn't have adequate fungi, then you need to inoculate and grow some fungi in the not-so-wonderful compost.
So, check your source of compost.
1. Plenty of fungi? No need to grow more in your compost.
2. Lacking fungi? Find a source of fungi to add to the stuff
you then need to make sure that the fungi actually grow in the stuff you know isn't so wonderful. Thus the pictures on David Loring's website. Thus Laura's pictures on the list serve.
What do good fungi in compost look like? Thick white strands, NOT FUZZY, GREY stuff. OK? We don't want to see spores.
Am I making sense to people? Is this not clear?
Please, the point is to have understanding. If this isn't making sense, please ask more questions. I can't tell if I'm being clear if you don't ask about what doesn't make sense to you.
