Hi Allan,
our budget is very tide this year but I would contribute to the
expense provided it is within reason. It would be very interesting to
get it analysed by Elain
Thank`s Tobias

Earlier this week I spoke to Elaine about analyzing some BD preps.
She, of course, will not do the analysis for free, but if we can
raise the funds for the study, she would be very happy to conduct it.
I didn't get pricing, but here are the tests she suggests:
"The tests I'd want to see are total and active bacteria, total and
active fungi, protozoa, and nematodes. If the material was added in
fields with plants, running mycorrhizal colonization would be good
too!"
This, of course, tells us little about etheric matters, but I think
it would be very good information to have about BC and Field Spray,
if not 500 also.
Anyone interested in kicking in a few bucks to see what's going on in
these preps on the microbial level?
-Allan
