RECOMENDED REGENERATIVE and MICROSCOPY PRODUCTS<\/strong>

MICROSCOPY<\/strong>
LW Scientific i4 Lumen<\/a> My new microscope, next level scope with epifluorescence! (This link goes to LW’s website and I am not affiliated or get commission from this)<\/em>

Swift 380T Trinocular Microscope<\/a> Inexpensive scope that works well for basic bright field soil microscopy. <\/em>

T-Mount Adapter for SONY DSLR with APS-C sensor<\/a> Connect your Sony crop sensor DSLR to a Trinocular Microscope<\/em>
T-Mount Adapter for CANON DSLR with APS-C sensor<\/a> For CANON DSLR with crop sensor<\/em>, EOS mount<\/em>
T-Mount Adapter for NIKON DSLR with APS-C sensor<\/a> For NIKON DSLR with crop sensor, F-mount<\/em>

*if you have a full frame DSLR like I do, you need a very expensive adapter.<\/em>

18MP Microscope Camera from AmScope<\/a> Lowest level camera I would recommend. Better than mounting a nice smartphone and much better than the 5MP microscope cameras. Produces a very nice image and comes with software for live viewing.<\/em>

BioVID 4K Microscope Camera<\/a> Very nice camera with 4k designed specifically for microscopes<\/p>\n\n\n\n

REGENERATIVE AMENDMENTS<\/strong>
EM-1 Pro Microbe Inoculant <\/strong><\/a> Great for adding diversity to your bacteria. “Pro” version is made food safe and great for your gut as well your plants! Can also use in food ferments. Has more bacteria types than regular EM-1. A bottle goes a long way in the garden with “Activation” and “Extension” preps.<\/em>

EM-1 Microbe Inoculant<\/a> <\/strong>Less expensive version of EM-1 just for garden use. Also goes a long way with “Activation” and “Extension” preps.<\/em>

Rootwise Microbe Complete<\/a> <\/strong>A powder form of a microbial inoculant with some fungi! Was used to grow worlds largest pumpkin!<\/em>

Craft Blend Organic Fertilizer<\/strong><\/a> A slow release granular fertilizer. Will not compete with microbial functions nearly as much as a water soluble fertilizer will. Little bit goes a long way in a living soil!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SOIL & COMPOST<\/strong>
Potting Soil – Coast of Maine<\/a> <\/strong>Coast of Maine has the best looking bagged soil I have seen with the Microscope!<\/em>

Raised Bed Soil – Coast of Maine<\/a> <\/strong>I mixed this with the lobster compost for my raised beds, as well as some biochar I made myself using EM-1.<\/em>

Compost – Coast of Maine<\/a> <\/strong>Compost with more fungi (nice 1:1 ratio roughly) than I have seen in any other bagged compost from the store!<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

OTHER <\/strong>
Hori Hori knife – Barebones<\/a> My favorite garden tool by far! Eliminate weeds quick with very little soil impact!<\/em>

Super Handy Electric Wood Chipper<\/a> Name just about says it all. I love this thing for the price and super handy for the garden. Makes nice small wood chips and great mulch. But if you want to make a big brush pile go away this is NOT the tool!<\/em> Only can handle 1\/2 inch sticks no fatter than your thumb.<\/em>

ECOWITT Soil Moisture Meter with digital display<\/a> Great tool for dialing in your watering.<\/em> I like this one way more than other brand and types of sensors.<\/em>

Air Pump for water aeration \/ compost extracts and teas<\/a> This pump will handle aeration for 30 to 40 gallon trash bin really well. Can probably handle more. <\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
