How can you grow geosmin-producing Streptomyces with household ingredients?

If you are like me you love Geosmin, I bury my face in it nightly and breath it in! I love it! In fact you could say I am addicted to it. It breeds/smalls best under my manufactured home. No light, cool and damp conditions. You have to move around a lot when digging it up because it is only in the first 3 inches of soil. Once you did the surface off, you must move around to find it. I would say that dirt, light moisture, darkness and ventilation create a good Geosmin but I am needing to find out what they thrive on as far as nutrients. It seems you cannot find an answer anywhere. Clorine and carbon kills it. If you find the answer to the nutrients for Geosmin, let me know at koragriff@yahoo.com
