If you use Soil soup nutrient solutions, you get the same results as
with the tea in my experience. The machine does not produce fungi. I
don't care what Ed Neff's customers say....I have tested it myself as
have dozens of others. Sure you can get some disease control with
bacteria, but you are not producing the full range of microbes as you
can with REAL compost tea brewers.

I wasn't attacking anyone.  I WAS making a statement that if the
speaker is Cindy then that is all I need to know. She is a lovely lady,
but soil soup machines do not produce fungi.  PERIOD.  IF someone
thinks they are an expert on compost tea and can't understand the need
to produce fungi in teas, then I am sorry, they are not worth listening
too. If you think that is an attack, so be it.
