The primordial layer I was refering to is the Humus layer within the
bog. I'm sure the experts know that. That is where alot of their humus
and humus tea products are derived from. It is a cheap and abundant
supply. Roughly 14 dollars per metric ton. The problem I see with
getting caught up in the numbers game is to much variabilty from what
the seller claims and what may actually be. That also goes for home
brew recipes. There is no real guaranteed analysis written on the bag
but you will find disclaimers. That is why there is this cry for
repeatable data. What plays out quite nicely in the Labratory does not
always work well in the garden. Cold soil temperatures are an
inhibiting factor. Not all soils in the far north are a toasty 70
degrees. Again how well does it work for the money spent?? If you are
looking for long term results and in my mind the most affordable. Add
well composted animal manures,straw,hay,leaf mold,fish,seaweed and the
list goes on. Whatever is readily available in your area and many
times is there FREE for the taking. Other than a little physical
labor. Take care.
