To natureboygrower,
A thought that just came to me to share for you, that you may not have considered...
Worm Castings contain chitin producing microbes;
chitin induces a Systemic Aquired Resistance(SAR) in plants;
their immune system is activated like an attack was happening
before an attack actually occurs. The plant is stronger.
On leaf surfaces, at a cellular level, when something bites, or a bad fungus attaches,
the plants' immune system is activated and it starts to attempt to isolate the infection or biting insect.
It will make the surrounding cells 'dirty' and 'taste bad', or cells in a circle will change their internal pH
to make any would be invaders habitat, be out of range. THE PLANT WILL REACT!
This spraying of compost tea brew making a new brew every week for example, and liberally coating the plants' leaves with it will not only create a barrier of healthy microbe action for invaders to deal with, but the plant itself becomes very robust and invaders are unable to penetrate her shield even if they do land on her and try to populate leaf surfaces, or roots for that matter; dripping from the leaves to the ground inocculating surrounding soil; and dumping the left over at her stalk.
ecto and endomycorrhizae that coat the roots and enter the plants' roots and form a symbyotic bond with the plants come into play here as well; more protection and increases nutrient uptake and utilization and storage in their fungal networks inside and outside the plant extending far and wide through the soil.
lol
Ok, now I'm going on too much, the point is...
AZAMAX is shit compared to good organic 'nurturing the microbes' practices. They do so much.
