Elaine:
How would I affect or hurt the micro-organism population if I apply CaO
(Calcium Oxide) to the soil? I suppose that mixing water (H2O) with CaO
would release a lot of heat. Would this kind of heat destroy
micro-organism?
I want to use CaO to supplement the Ca to the soil.

Jeff, I take it to mean that there was only one strand in the ml or
so of tea analyzed. I expect the "SC beard" survived but most or
all was attacked by anerobic bacteria due to low oxygen at some
point in the brewing process.
> But let's continue. Does your low fungal number mean you had a bad
tea? I don't think so. I look at the fungal numbers as being really
important for foliar coverage for disease suppression and not as
important when it comes to foliar feeding and for soil drench.
Right or wrong?

It is my understanding that I want fungal dominated tea for a soil
drench on my grapes. Is that correct Elaine?
Jeff, thanks for your analysis.
