Teaming with Microbes Arrived Today
My anticipated copy of "Teaming with Microbes" has arrived. While I can't comment on the full text with any authority yet, I can say that it is well organized and has an extensive index (8 pages). It pleased me no end to see "soil science 28 - 42".
There is also a valuable guide to labs and suppliers (4 pages). A supplier of mycorhhizal fungi here in Spokane is going to be getting a new customer.

Australian Customs, paranoid at the best of times, would FREAK if I started importing soil bugs.
I wonder if we just shoudn't be feeding the ones that grow naturally in our own areas?
One of the reasons the soil microflora of Terra preta has not been worked out yet is the fears Brazillians have of US firms patenting genetic material.
