Will the microscope that MM sells on his site for 300.00 work for me to look at my compost tea and see what I need to see.thank you.funny I have ben looking at his site for a year and i come to this site and he is on it way small world.
What is it that you need to see in your compost tea? I mean microscopes and microbes are way cool but you don't need a microscope to know if you have a good tea. The more food you use the more microbes you get the more air you need. Seaweed, fish ferts, water, air and you will get an awesome bacteria tea. If you want to take advantage of the fungus your best results will come from filling your pots with the proper soil several months ahead of time, the less disturbed the better as far as fungus is concerned.
A rolling stone gathers no fungus.

I agree completely with that statement.I think a microscope is key. There really are no other evaluative methods to determine if you've made the tea properly, short of watching your plant's response. Foam, smell, color...none of these will give you sufficient information in regards to microbial activity.

You people want to buy into their pseudoscience BS so you have an excuse to buy a microscope or brewer be my guest can't save people from themselves.
This thread was started (Please correct me if I am wrong, OP), to obtain information about microscopes, not to be told why it is unnecessary to have one.
Since brewing ACT I have been wondering about what my teas look like, and using a scope to be able to read when a tea is best used, or no longer usable.. basically, I want to nerd out with it, and know everything I can..
So, I have a loaner scope..
The individual that started this thread has a scope and would like to know if his model is capable of evaluating his tea. Unfortunately no microscope viewing a drop of water on a glass slide is capable.
