Good on you ck nice time out for Christmas around this place there all still hard at it one guy has to fix both of his headers both down at the same time the crops are just over what you had had but they have only done the canola and nearly the oats should be done on that front in the next few days then onto the wheat that should be a bumper crop the best in over 10 years it will be interesting to see what they get I hope its large good on them trev

Did you use the microbe brew on your crop this year? Did it work?

I only did some water can sized trails this year still working on making enough compost to do a larger scale trail next year , I did use some nutrisoil but I put it out a bit late some I mixed chemical in to kill wild radish and it did help with that and the oats seamed to do Ok on it. The canola oil in the fuel with just the tractor exaughst was a flop some on the gravel country didn't even put a head up.

You need to brew up a big tank enough for your place.
One of my friends made a brew using various manures, molasses, potting mix, and some grain. Her grapes and garden plants exploded with growth a week after application. It was amazing.

I have a brewing tank just need to get a new air pump as the pump that came with smashes the fungi up too much for wheat you need equal fungi to bacteria biomas, It has worked in other areas just need to work out how to get it to work up here.

It's quite a complicated science. I think the weather plays a big part on how successful this works. The dry air and heat would kill off some of the microbes.

yes it does but I have found you need 100% ground cover and enough time for the microbes to switch to hybernation mode the spores can survive 1000's of years

Ground cover is a problem with the hot and dry summers we have here.
