Recently started experimenting with fungal dominant compost teas... including culturing
here are some of the early results. Primary source of information is the soil food web, and related classes.
Please share any relevant experience or information.
delivered full strength, one cup to a newly transplanted 1 gallon shows obvious signs of increase in the growth rate and vitality of the plant... sustained. Compared to untreated plants.
Decreased cost... culturing fungal growth as opposed to raw or quick batch teas (commercial products veganics, Pirana, etc.) use less compost, less commercial products, and allows the freedom to do more balanced teas (fungal and microbial) whereas the brewing of both together is a tricky balancing act when using bagged products. (different timing and competition issues)
Fungal foods are inoculated with the species lists below. Fungal foods played with so far are organic rolled oats, organic corn meal, alfalfa..... next additions to the process include nettle, stinging nettle, comfrey, and horsetail (cal, mag, vit A,C,K, copper, iron, MG, sulphur, silica).
