["Frank Teuton" <fteuton AT sympatico.ca>]

The Internet is a marvelous tool, a www.google.com search for ' APC Alaska humus' yielded the following hit:

"Studies conducted by Soil Foodweb Inc. ("SFI") confirm, "When APC is used
to make a water-extract, the resultant compost tea combined with the soil
product applied as a mulch has suppressed and prevented disease completely."
SFI additionally noted that severe root-rot disease problems were
significantly reduced through the application of APC product. This same study
stated that, "APC material can replace the use of sphagnum moss, sterile
potting soil, Vermiculite, Perlite and coconut fibers." In another study
completed by BBC Laboratories, Inc. in July 2001, the APC product was also
found to significantly inhibit the growth of a variety of pathogens."

 

So the gods are all smiling together....

It's not made from, it's a humus from Alaska. Perhaps Jeff will intercede with a better description..Jeff?
