Hey, Frank -
What about the other side of this, Frank? I understood Elaine to say
that we don't want to promote fungi in beds used for annual crops,
like brocolli. I think we're coming to see all plants living in
relationship with fungi, but doesn't Elaine pursue bacteria for
annual vegetable
Hey Allan,
Yeah Elaine does be saying that, eh?
My broc has always been real happy in the leaf compost/ wood chippy stuff I
have here, and Eliot also notes that rototillering in leaves in the Fall is
just dandy for brassicas in the spring, and leaves are sort of fungally
foodish.
Methinks that

Steve-- Seems like I have read somewhere that stinging
nettle tea is a good substitute for equestem. True?
The reason I ask is that we have a fine crop of
nettle growing here and no equestem.
If equestem is the only proper ingredient, can you
provide some information on how it gorws, what i
Stinging nettle is good in its own right but not a substitute for
equesitem. If you do not have a local source of horse tail (or
equisetum), you can buy it from Hugh Courtney at JPI. However, Hugh
does not grow the herb he sells, he imports it and resells it
You can get WELEDA quality equisetu
Equisetum likes pond edges. I have not yet started my own crop but am working
on it. Nettles is for weed suppression and flavor enhancement and nitrogen,
it is not a sub for equisetum. I buy bulk fromm Bleesed Herb or JPI. sstorch

Beats me, but the nettles manure tea [~10 days] seems to have a weed
supressing effect, try it...sstorch
By out competing them and every thing else!

Steve,
did I miss a list of > >beautiful beneficient fungus with the nicest fattest hyphae< ?
I assume you are speaking of mycorrhizal mycelium are there others?
Also how are you going to keep those fat hyphae in suspension and how do
