Comparing Composts with Matt Powers

At Acres 2024, we got together with @MattPowersSoil to compare the biological activity in samples from 3 different composts. We used the h-Pack mobile microscopy kit from Hiwasssee Products. https://www.hiwasseeproducts.com/equipment/hPACK-mobile-lab-solutions Take Matt's soil microscopy course and get 20% off the h-Pack https://matt-powers.mykajabi.com/regenerative-soil-microscopy-the-online-course 00:00-06:27 Intro 06:29-11:46 H-Pack Microscopy Kit 11:47-12:47 Preparing Sample 1 12:48-14:24 Scanning Sample 1 14:25-16:13 Spores and Testate Amoebae 16:14-19:11 Looking Around 1912-21:24 Training Your Eye for Soil Microscopy 21:25-24:10 Epi-Fluorescence on a Wood Chip 24:11-26:23 Bacteria 26:24-28:03 Microscopy vs DA Testing 28:04-29:25 Fungi 29:26-30:31 Flagellate 30:32-31:31 Lactobacillus 31:32-33:37 Summing up Sample 1 33:38-36:02 Sample 2, Spores and Testate Amoebae, Coloration from Humics 36:03-39:11 Spores and Organic Matter 39:12-40:23 Testate Amoeba Eating Organic Matter 40:24-41:37 Giant Spore 41:38-42:35 Summing up Sample 2 42:36-44:52 Sample 3, Nematode, Bacteria 44:52-46:46 Testate Amoeba Eating Spores, Fungi 46:47-48-16 Sample 3 Wins 48:17-52:53 Pinworms
