Testing of Pfieffer field spray and compost starter would be significant because of the potential scale for munincipal, or large scale use. Pfeiffer products are much more relative to bacterial innoculation. Meaning they are bred to be bacterial.
But the preps we are not as concerned with the bacteria, but with the more subtle life force processes, increased bacteria is just a side effect of the working of the preps. Steiner used the analogy in the agriculture lectures that the house is not dirty because it has flies in it; the flies are there because the house is dirty. So the preps dirty up the house a bit, and then the bacteria come. Barrel Compost and Podolonsky 500 could be interesting to test. I am interested in how these results are interpreted, given we take these preps, and then apply them in such minut quantities. As opposed to testing actual compost or soil.
