RE: Soil Pathogen Testing
Would that therefore be called OH-organite?

Wayne,
Might be "an off the wall" answer, but I just recently found out from of
local sewer district department, that all the 'sludge' / 'left over
compost' from the sewage department goes through an extensive test of
Pathogens before being released to the residents. Although the pathogens
that they are testing for may be of human nature, they have the high-tech
equipment to many other tests. I generally add some of this sludge to my
patch every year and it does help a great deal.
Bill Sadowski, in Ohio and prepping soil for next year.

>Ok how many growers are checking for this in their patches....after
reading
about Geneva last year doing a patogen test and treating her patch, I
started
wondering about my own...trying to find someone here in Ontario that will
test
my soil.....any feed-back about this subject would be great...pythium and
fusarium maybe holding us from getting all out of our
soil....................wayne<
