I also use a product called MycoApply MAXX that is mostly symbiotic fungi with some beneficial bacteria added. It's not from Stamets, but from mycorrhizalsolutions.com, IIRC. I'm aware of this stuff, though my main focus is soil minerals. Check out my web site: www.soilminerals.com lots of free iinfo on soil mineral balancing.
If one is forced to grow crops on a city lot, i agree it would be a good idea to decontaminate it first. If one has country property where the fields have had many years of pesticides used, ditto. I would still advise anyone growing food for their family to find the cleanest land they can unless they have no choice, but I still recommend a fungi-bacteria package for all new gardens and crop fields.
The LaMotte test and the standard soil test have different purposes. The standard test measures reserves, what is potentially available. The LaMotte test measures what is immediately available. I have a hard enough time convincing people just to spend $20 on a standard test. |
no agument here but, building a kit would be more effective for more land and a accurat kit is avalible for more than just potintial availablity. Your site ive seen the last time you put it up. But I do this on my own and I think others should to. WE all need to do somthing and i understand biz but the test are to determain what is or is not there and then you add or subtract what you need. plase dont get me wrong you site is good for those who cant or wont learn. you make it simple for them like fast food. I know its not easy. I dont think there is one thing that you can put done that will keep the ratios balanced anyway thats why we test for all those different elements, to determain the recipe. sorry I sond this way. its just not that hard and not that simple either, It depends who you are. Like you and me take the time to try and learn these things while others just follow. teach a man to fish oh biozome is good to and I like the combination of your blooms products. friend
