Elaine - you must have made a good recovery from your flight across the
Pacific. I'm not able to come to your Coff's Harbour seminar but I'm hoping
our Greenkeeper will be there.
What I'm puzzled about is this. If I produced a tea with great numbers like
the above, wouldn't it get pretty smelly within a couple of days? Wouldn't the
trillions of microbes be using up all the available dissolved oxygen and then
the sample would become smelly?
The last two CT's I made were each brewed for 2 days. One
litre samples of each brew were poured into two litre bottles and
kept in a cool spot and both smelled perfectly OK after two days. Were
they any good? It looked good and smelled good but, without sending
it away to Lismore for testing, could it be an effective CT?
Any greenkeepers in this group? Suppose you want to plant dozens of
trees between two fairways, or along a boundary (so that passing cars don't get
damaged), how do you prepare the area for planting?
If these are dumb questions and indicate that I learnt nothing much at
three previous seminars of Elaine's, I'll just have to drop everything and come
down to Coff's Harbour :- ))
Scott Alexander.
