 Jason, 
If you have access to a microscope, you may 
very well want to take a look at your non-compost tea. You very well may 
have protozoa growing in it and it may make a great protozoa stew! 
Some of the protozoa you can just barely see with 
the naked eye if you don't have a microscope. I would love to know what you find 
if you do! 
For those not familiar with the topic, it is 
possible to grow protozoa and release them either in teas or after teas have 
been applied.  I liken the  bacteria and fungi as "fertilizer bags" 
and the protozoa and nematodes as the "fertilizer spreaders."  Doc E (and 
correct me if  I am wrong!) has mentioned that it takes two or three weeks 
before the protozoa in the soil  
wake up to the fact that there is an increased food 
supply. Adding protozoa should speed up this response time, I 
believe. 
Cheers, 
jeff L
