Love this stuff. Definitely FULL of life, and having the food already present for the microbes really seems to give things a boost. If you plan on bubbling this in a tea for any length of time, DO IT IN THE BATHTUB! this stuff will foam over like a rabid 5 gallon bucket! Also, remember that the foam is a sign of life in the tea. With Myco tea, if you bubble it for more than two or three hours, you'll likely start to notice less foam than there was before, thats because some of the microbeasties are dying, (which means they aren't burping, hence the lack of foam.).. you wanna keep your bubbling time to a minimum with this. When applying in liquid form, I usually don't bubble it, if I do it's only an hour.,, you can also add it to the tea your making about an hour before you finish bubbling it if you don't wanna use multiple teas.
