Been doing homework about fungal dominate teas and started searching for high fungal composts.
Kis Fungal Compost jumped out at me, they have test results and are local to me



High fungal composts




Anyone else that has a good fungal compost that I should be looking at?
Thanks in advance farmers

Save your money (adjectives cost money) and throw in a handful of oatmeal into whatever you have.

Not entirely sure why people obsess one way or the other, if you're gardening naturally plant exudates are going to determine the localized soil biota from my understanding.

I was looking into it for foliar use

@Michal I think it goes a little both ways. Sometimes a fresh dose of a variety of microbes can re-inoculate the soil with a population that had previously died off for whatever reason (lack of water, food, competition, etc.). Theoretically the soil should be balanced and you shouldn't run into this "issue". But in practice the soil and nutrients may not be balanced, you can underwater, it can get too hot, etc. So a population may die off, and you can keep a good variety with a tea once and again.


Now on your side, yeah just use some oatmeal, as it is an inexpensive widely available source of what OP is looking for.

Definitely do not need a specialized product, as that's the beauty of this movement!

I made some bokashi myself and have been using it layer in a 5 gal bucket along with my veggie scraps the bucket is full so my plan is to lid it, let it ferment for 2 weeks then add it to my traditional compost pile. After the contents of the bucket break down will that make my compost fungal dominate? I'm better trying to understand the microbo vs fungal thing.

Thanks stanky

Have you read Teaming With Microbes yet? If not, you must. It will really help you in understanding the differences.

Oh Jesus! How do you even find the time to grow, then?

Just moved so I don't have anything running yet but 3 gg#4 s1 seedlings. I don't sleep much, or have a social life. Got some fire cuts coming my way very soon though.
