RES: [compost_tea] Humisolve



Hi Jeff,

 

Another important point for tea makers is the fact that

ALL soluble humates ( and that also includes Humisolve) are

a basic salt of humic and fulvic acids being either a K-humate

or Na-Humate. The pH of those powders are extremely basic (high)

and we all know that fungi don’t like a basic environment ( or should

I say they prefer a lower pH –around 5- environment).

My suggestion would be whenever testing those soluble black powders

( or even actually using them) to pre dissolve them with plain water

in a bucket and them measure the ph. At this point it would be easier to

actually adjust the pH of the bucket solution to a more neutral or even

lower pH if you are aiming for fungi.

Does my suggestion make sense to you ?

 

Jose

I have the full text Dr. Faust sent along with tests as to what is in it.  I use the stuff in my teas after John Evans gave me this fall. And Lord knows, I test.  I am getting great fungi..but you bring up an interesting point:  We need to keep insisting on tests from suppliers that make sense to us as teamakers. How does the stuff work making teas. 

 

O.K. didn't you say you were testing Humics? 

 

Cheers,

 

Jeff
