Don't add any actinomycetes, or more properly, actinobacteria to your tea, or
compost. They are really bad news on mycorrhizal fungi. You need to get the
beneficial fungi in the compost and tea. Streptomyces do not build soil
structure very well, and they compete with the beneficial fungi, often
keeping the good guys from being able to grow.

Not a good choice.
