Sustainable Growth Boise, Microbial Introduction Wrap Up
Hello!
We have really been busy these past couple of months attending trade shows and starting our spring applications. The interest of homeowners wanting Organic Lawn Care fertilizing is growing all the time and we are gearing up to meet their needs and exceed their expectations.
When we make liquid compost extract we first start with a high quality blend of compost to have the maximum numbers of bacteria, fungi, protozoa and beneficial nematodes. There are other critters in high quality compost but they dont seem to make it through the process of compost teas or extracts. I have always sourced or make my own blends of compost to make sure I have a bacteria dominated and a fungi dominated piles so I can mix them custom for the days applications. On an average day I will mix a little bit of each type of compost on site for the greatest diversity and maximum results. Usually for the type of extractor we now use for lawncare applications I end up with about 30 lbs of compost blends per 250 gallon batch. I mix kelps, humates and other organically certified or approved amendments depending upon the conditions that I know I will encounter. We have a microscope on site to test each batch of liquid compost for content before any applications are made
