Hi all. We seem to have gone a little off piste here but it’s an interesting discussion. Can we clarify things a little here as I’m a touch lost! Are we saying that, if you apply compost/ manure as a mulch to your soil:

1) Applying old school compost teas (made via the steeping method) aka Black Jack or anaerobic teas is superfluous.

Or,

2) Applying modern compost teas (microbes) made aerobically via air pumps creating vast amounts of bubbles etc. is superfluous.

Or,

3) Both!??

Karen, your link and therefore conclusions seem to be based on the first?

This gardening lark keeps you on your toes 🙂
