Thanks Allan and Steve - you have answered a question which no-one has been able to for the last 10 years. I'll stick with becoming a dedicated "prep" and BC user thanks. Stephen Barrow

At JPI they have a refrigerator full of bacterial and (probably) fungal cultures that are a huge (important) part of the Pfeiffer recipe.

Pfeiffer had a partner in the General Compost Corp who is still alive and guarding the information. From what I know there is the bd remedies and lots of sprouted seeds and a ground hog or similar substitute, +++ that get composted and run through. It is made in a large cement mixer which runs for about thirty days. There is lots of redundancy which makes it so intense a product. The resultant compost is then formed into cookies and dried to rock hard consistency and then ground up in a hammermill...make some, I daare ya...SStorch

I do not have real comparisons, but it is my understanding that the field spray is superior to BC as a pre-plow-down spray to spare those of us who want to plant too soon after incorporation from losing too much nitrogen to decomp. _Allan
