<<<Ann Lovejoy kept her failing septic system going for a couple of years b=
y spraying CT on the drain field. >>>
Obviously this falls into the category of anecdotal evidence, right?
However if Ann was using tea from a soil soup machine, as she did and maybe=
still does, she was only putting bacterial on the field, which is why she=
may have helped it...
Lawns are balanced, fungal and bacterial. The oak is probably not that unh=
appy as it is fungal, sure, but not conifer-style fungal!.
The soil has been compacted. I would think some good fungal teas ( and we =
now know how to make them) would greatly help along with the aeration treat=
ment and some organic lawn food such as soybean meal at 3 pounds per 100 sq=
ft.
Cheers,
Jeff
