No disagreement there... but a healthy rhizo once innoculated does not need a massive amounts of teas with massive amounts of bacteria to thrive. Once innoculated if the food source is kept available they will continue to thrive adjusting to food source.My point is that you don't always add the same additives when you brew you compost teas like alfalfa is high in nitrogen but rock phosphate is high in phosphorus so the bacteria and stuff that likes those different things has the different microbes in it
Teas are meant to create massive amounts of bacteria to convert the organics to salts so they are immediately available. Good for a quick boost of available nutrients. This is done in the media also just at a slower rate because of the lower food source.
If you keep dumping in loads of bacteria everyday they die off as the food source is consumed... wanna see this? Bubble a tea for 1 week straight adding nothing and tell me how that looks and smells. The food is consumed PH will crash from death and co2 created and it will reek of rotting bacteria... same dam thing in the soil bro.
