Welcome glad you liked it. exciting to verify/confirm that the compost and aact is alive.Nice leadsled!
Thanks for the post. It really is going blind without having a microscope. That's why I tend to stay with the recipes, techniques etc recommended by the guys with the scopes. Makes sense right?
Have you looked at the microbeorganics website? He sells a dvd that helps ID the critters.
Let us know what other experiments you do.

Calcium Carbonate is also known as lime which is naturally anti microbial. Lime plaster walls ( calcium carbonate) do not get moldy. If he put lime in...sure , that kills anything.
So how about the effects of adding lime to the soil to buffer?
Leadsled, do you have any dr bronners soap to try? I've been under the assumption it was fine, but without looking, I could very well be wrong....shredder
Calcium Carbonate is a mineral compound found in limestone, calcite lime, oyster shell powder, egg shells. Calcium is one of the most important minerals for plant health. Some argue that it's THE most important mineral for both plant and animal health.
Lime Plaster is not Calcium Carbonate - it's hydrated lime mixed with sand and water.
Once again Calcium Carbonate = 1 elemental Calcium atom, 1 carbon atom and 3 oxygen atoms. That's it.

so yucca extract is still good to go with teas right?
I worked in Italy with a guy who made lime products. When we wanted
Again. Lime plasters are naturally anti microbial which is why they are so popular in the green building industry. What is the effect on microbial life of adding lime to the soil?
interesting, according to wikipedia...
"The vast majority of calcium carbonate used in industry is extracted by mining or quarrying. Pure calcium carbonate (e.g. for food or pharmaceutical use), can be produced from a pure quarried source (usually marble)."

You're good with the 'peppermint' component. Mints, in general, are a very effective fungicide and insecticide component. As a matter of fact I include 'mints' (oregano, marjoram, basil, peppermint, et al.) in the fungicide and insecticide that I brew up for fighting 'M&M' here in Oregon - mites and mildew.
Peace

Could you post a recipe?
