how do gardeners evaluate the effectiveness of adding micro-organisms?
is 1/2 tsp enough? weekly? even w/ media drenching?
how much is too much?
all that add microbes have micro-scopes as well, right? to check for microbial life...
same as getting ph meter, ec meter, etc... if adding microbes as 1 of main influence, maybe get loupe/microscope 1st... & be able to identify microbes... to can keep count on whos eating whom...
please provide degrees of effectiveness... & exactly how effectiveness is measured...
example:
if feed 1 tablespoon of flora nova bloom, per gallon, will get relatively hot solution (depending on growth), that may/may not 'burn' leaf tips... insuring plant received nutes..
how does gardner measure if microbes are actually giving plant something 'beneficial'?
& not just eating well in media, by eating media, eating each other & molasses (sugar) that is fed?
btw, there are many, many different types of micro-organisms... including worms (tiny), slugs (tiny), nematodes, amoebas, etc... which need to be @ which #'s in media to work?
if dont know these variables, puttin microbes in media/solution only seems hope they benefit plant, w/ no way to verify... maybe entirely incorrect though...
