Re: nitrogen fixing bacteria / soil tea



Heide -

First, what do you mean by a soil tea.  Do you know what
a soil tea is and how to make it; who makes them; the track
record and history of this practice?

Otherwise, I think you are confusing terms and practices.

As far as azotobacter and azosperillium.  You can buy
these nitrogen-fixers as biofertilizer inoculants.

India is a world leader in the use of the biofertilizers.
I know there is good literature on this topic, but
you may have to go far and wide to get it.

Check out agriculture + biofertilizer titles on Vedam Books.

Just buy some inoculant and add it to your compost
or vermicompost the last 10-15 days before they are
finished.  When you apply this compost-biofertilizer to
the field, you will "propagate" the microbes.   That is
a common way it is done in India.
