Re: [compost_tea] Re: Weed Control and Compost Tea
Typically no, the N in baceria and fungi is not detected by typical N -P -K measurements.
We measure the N that will become available based on predator - prey interactions in the soil or compost.
We don't really care what N - P - K compost has. That is a pointless measurement.
What we need to know is C:N ratio, because if the compost is good, aerobic material, then that N will become available, through the actions of microorganisms, for plant growth, but it wil be at a rate and place most useful to the plants, not leaching out of the soil.
Hope this helps!
