Glad to hear another success story. Thanks for sharing. I would use new dirt every time, but I am not a microbiologists. The way I understand it, the microbes in the EWC exist largely in spore and cyst form. Once you add it to the water the microlife acts as a kind of little play, with each actor waiting for his cue before making an entrance. That's why we let the play unfold for 48 hours. I would assume that if you wanted the best chance at diversity and at getting the proper organisms we need, you would use new dirt every time.Heisenberg,
I now have nothing but white, healthy roots in my DWC plants. I've tried everything at great expense over a period of years, and nothing has produced white roots like your tea. White roots and fast-growing, healthy plants. Thanks a million!!
I'm sure you've made more than one corporate juggernaut nutrient company(Advanced Nutrients anyone?) sad with your postings.
On a side note, any thoughts on using the sock full 'o dirt for more than 1 batch of tea?
You're the greatest!!!

When I get set back up i'll try reusing the dirt a few times with some tomatoes, if the slime claims them so be it. In fact I guess it's about time to do some experimenting and see how effective each product is on it's own. That means I will have to purposely give myself slime at some point!
