Re: [compost_tea] Re: Are these temps OK for CT ?- and pics.
As long as the temps are not freezing, you can apply CT. Even if temps drop to freezing at night, as long as the organisms got into the soil before things froze, there will be benefits.
When the plants have lots their leaves, and you have established the beneficials on the bark surfaces with a CT spray in the fall, then you want to turn your attention to the soil.
Soil drenches are very useful this time of year to get the organisms established in the soil. Additional foods to feed fungi or bacteria, whatever you need, are then what you need to do. Make sure the fungi are growing and building soil structure for you! Fall is a great time to really push that improvement. Use improving soil structure - i.e., hardpan disappearance, crust going away, ease in pushing your soil probe to deeper and deeper depths as the indicator that you are being successful.
And an occasional soil sample to make sure soil life is developing the right way would be useful.
Hope this helps!
