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



Dave-the yucca I can get in Canada is also "preserved", in this case 
with copper.  However, I am using it as a wetting agent at a 1:1000 
dilution rate, so it winds up being only about 1ppm copper, which my 
"home test" plates indicate isn't impacting the organisms.

Wonder if the benzoate would do anything significant in the brew at 
the tiny concentrations you would have in there?

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?
