Thanks for this information, Cheryl. Where did this testing occur? At a SFI lab in Australia? (When reporting SFI results, please also include the location of the lab.) I hope someone has the time to extrapolate on the meaning of your 'ug/b' figures. If I understand this correctly, you had the test done on the physical 'out of the box' BD500. Do you have plans to test stirred 500? > >We are awaiting the final bacterial biomass count to see what >protozoa are there. > >Maybe you could add 500 to your brew!! I saw Elaine's flowform report, but couldn't make much of it. Do you know what sort of pump was being used? The make/model of the forms? What was being used as a compost basket? And, a new question, why the guy trialing it through the basket should have been removed earlier? I watched the Podolinski Big Country video last night. Although AP gives much attention to the expression of formative forces, when he talks about BD 500, he sure talks a lot about the life in it and the life it brings to dead soil. I'll be watching it again tonight (everyone is welcome: Neersville, VA 7PM 540 668 6165) to see if he even refers to formative forces and BD. If a person didn't know better, it w.b. easy to think that he sees 500 as an innoculant. -Allan > >We have also sent off some recent BD 500, so will update you when we >get the answers! >Did you see Elaine Inghams Ezine report where she saw the BD >Flowform in action - my friend who was there said she was blown away >by it !! and they go their O2 levels up in 8 hours instead of 16 >hours! >The guy trialling it said he left the compost tea basket in too >long, and that was why the numbers suddenly dropped, so we are >looking forward to further trials on the flowform. >A few of us went to see and hear her when she was in our area >recently - she certainly is amazing - will be great when she takes >BD on board (maybe after these results she will look more closely at >it!) > >Cheers >Cheryl.
