We do testing on different bacterial and fungal species to determine whether
the culture will enhance or slow down germination, whether the bacterium or
fungus will result in disease, or speed up or slow down growth.

Different bacteria and fungi do these different effects. If you have a tea
where you are seeing poor results, or no benefit, start looking for a different
compost, or a different tea maker.

You can test yourself, or for $15 (introductory offer), through Soil Foodweb,
and get a qualitative assessment of the biology in your tea.

The sample does not have to be overnight mail, because activity is not
included. Next day mail is ok.

Questions? Please call SFI, or e-mail the lab, info_at_soilfoodweb.com
