So far I've had two failed IMO3 attempts where the temperature got out of control. I winterized 3 large vegetable beds 2 weeks ago by broad forking them (they had never been tilled or worked up), spraying a humic acid+LAB solution, sprinkling the rejected IMO3 , and then covering them with leaves. I checked under the leaves the other day and was amazing by the mycelium activity. It seems that less than perfect IMO3 still does a lot of good! Happy experimenting everyone. (My oats sprouted in my IMO pile. Another learning opportunity)
