May I ask of you your time for some sort of reference/research material relating to humic/fulvic acids and Mycorrhizae within a "typical" worm compost/compost brew?

Many thanks
Kevin

Wow. Good question. I'll post this just to bring it up to the top again. Meanwhile, are you familiar with the product called "Thrive'" a soil drench that is intended to add Mycorrhizae to the soil? It augments the natural Mycorrhizae in the soil and in your own compost. It comes from Alpha BIO Systems and you might find the kind of technical information (comparison-wise) there that you're looking for.

Hi Northwesterner,
Thanks for your post. I add MC naturally; I also add the foodstuffs they like so I know I have plenty of MC in. It's just that I want to research it a bit more.

Also I don't trust the companies statements of their own products, even if they work, as they are allowed to use marketing 'bluff' (a legal term) which allows them to oversell their wares while still being legal.

2 years ago I contacted a fertiliser company to say that their front label said "with more added seaweed" but the fert identity label excluded any seaweed content, so how much seaweed was in there? I appreciated the fact they replied at all, but they admitted to it being less than 0.1% due to the rising cost of seaweed. Still legal, still bluff but wholly misleading. And that's why I make my own. All I need to do is to be able to measure it!

I understand that, and I haven't poked around in the producer's web site to see if they link to any of the papers that might influence their mix.

Take a look at the Texas Organic Research Center (TORC) and see if that can point you in the direction you seek.
