Default Re: Azos (nitrogen fixing bacteria)

I like seeing the result of your application of Azos. I would like, however, to see in the future from our gardening community, 2 pics, one of a plant with the Azos applied, and one of an identical plant in age, variety, culture, etc., except without Azos to use as a control. Only then will we be able to move from the anecdotal basis of current gardening to one more firmly based in scientific techniques, and hence more valuable as to future predictions of behavior.

Note- this is in no way a negative comment on your experience, Steve, just a plea for such research in the future. It shouldn't be hard for us, even those not trained in science, to follow the simple steps of the scientific experimental process.
