[compost_tea] Re: Re; Why activate the compost?



Dave-I've been using the saponin available to me in Canada which is 
also "preserved", in this case with copper.

However, once it's diluted 1:1000 it will only contribute about 1ppm 
copper to the material--I'm just using it in my spray tank.  My 
homestyle plate tests have indicated no adverse effects from this 
level of preservative, might be different with benzoate, and in the 
actual brewing process...?

foam from saponin.  Also, I've only found a "food quality" yucca 
extract for a source of saponin and it has sodium benzoate as a 
preservative which means it shouldn't be used, right?
