Or lower downs too I would assume. Dead bacteria become food for plants and the next thing that eats it.the dead bacteria get eaten by the higher ups on the food chain correct? Like nematodeas and protozoa?

Thanks for the great info on this thread, plus the research sources. I might need to rethink my molasses strategy - damn. I was sure that plus worm juice was giving me massive veges for years .
Whilst all the people in the know are around, what does worm juice do to the microbes in the soil - immediately and over time. I thought it acted a bit like a probiotic for the soil?
Thanks, that link has gone straight to the favourites. But also, crikey! That's a lot of gardening myths.make your own judgement. Here is a professor at WSU horticulture myths pages.

I would take her "myths" with a grain of salt though. I've read her take on gypsum and would characterize her in the same class as that other Pacific Northwestern microbe lady. I wonder how many people failed by following THEIR advice.make your own judgement. Here is a professor at WSU horticulture myths pages.

Have you tried the crunch berries?dont know who the microbe lady is and a phd sure doesnt mean automatically smart or correct. And the info on the myths page all relates to outdoor crops not container gardening. But i have found most of her info to be pretty well supported and much of the horticulture industry technique and product to be complete bunk.
She would tend to piss off “organic” growers for sure. But be careful of well known opinion vs facts is my warning.
now where is my bud sweetener?!?!? Oh there it is right next to my cal mag. :-)
yea she does a bit of nitpicking and her info seems really geared toward the outdoors and peoples ornamental gardens. its nice to see a different perspective but i disagree with some of it and i wish she would link the scientific studies she gets her information on so I can review them for myself... seems very, unacademic.... to make some of the statements she does and not provide the studies to back them up after calling others who arent in academics for having a pseudo understanding..I would take her "myths" with a grain of salt though.

This lady has made a name for herself with these "myths" and Ill leave it at that.
Whats the best fert to get a good crop asap? I have biobizz but i need a non organic no need to sit around and wait deal. I was thinking earth juice. Any thoughts gents

would also be nice if she stuck to just indoors or outdoor horticulture as well. her info seems to really be geared towards outdoor trees and shrubs and not really "weeds".
all in all tho it wasnt bad, just take it with a big grain of salt, as she makes alot of claims mythbusting withouth showing the study linkas and it doesnt seem like indoor cultivars are her line of work persay.
In my enviros it'd be my humidity being issue number one. I have an ultrasonic mister(a good one too) but my room will not get above 45% its a bitch. I put a fille 32 gallon trash can run the fucker for a week and it does nothing but 45%. Lolif you want natural and plant soluble pure blend pro is the stuff. But i got even faster growth from a fresh bale of pro mix hp with myco and dyna grow foliage pro and protekt.
but environment and proper wet dry cycle are really the key.
