Re: [compost_tea] newbie intro and question
Thanks, Elaine (I hope you're enjoying your sojourn in the S hemisphere)
When your labs do fungal analysis, do they inclued mycorrhiza, or is this a
seperate test?
When you teach the microscopy, do you include the compost-soil testing, or
is this a different kettle of fish? (the name "DIC - epi-fluorescence
scopes" sounds expensive...)
