Dear Lloyd, et al - The proposed testing of the preps at SFI is not intended to be the end of 'testing the preps.' It is only an attempt to gain some insight into one aspect of what the preps and BC bring to the soil.
Please do continue to design other tests. -Allan >Lloyd: This ties in with what I initially said about testing preps. A true >test of the preps would be to test soil and compost before and after their >application. On of the wake up calls I got early on in my BD experience was >when I was worried about throwing out soil bugs with 500, I spoke with Terry >Forman, his answer was " Don't worry about the bugs, they are already there, >what you are doing with 500 is creating an environment for them to thrive >in" On hearing this and pondering on it, I realised that it really is only >the forces we need to worry about, the physical aspects are only a side >issue. >David C
