Re: [compost_tea] Re: killer fungi !



Tom's exactly right. 

One thing you can think about isthat you might want to know that you have certain beneficials in your compost, tea or soil.  If they aren't in your compost or in your soil, you might want to ADD them.  You should only have to add them ONCE, and as long as you feed them (it's called plants, they feed the right guys, if the right guys are there), and as long as you do not use toxic materials on that area, the beneficials will remain present. 

But use a pesticide, high levels of inorganic fertilizer, or an anaerobic tea, and you may have to put the organisms back, because those things can kill them.

So, checking your soil, compost or tea for the beneficials can be useful.  SFI offers an assay to help you determine if you have the good guys, and if there is enoug hof them.  It's the Beneficial Organism Assay, and we've just started offering it.
