I am a scientist by training, ( with a PhD in biochemistry before coming back to family farm). I am very keen to improve our soil and plan to start trying to make and use compost tea to improve soil biology. My question is what should I measure to see if I have made a difference. I have a new microscope and intend to try and quantify what is present in my compost, compost tea and soil. I hope to apply compost tea to parts of fields and compare to untreated areas. What information do you think other farmers would want to know to decide if improving soil biology was worth doing.
