Re: [compost_tea] Early Microbbrewers and apples
When the tea does not do what it ought to be able to do, then you need to suspect that the tea you are applying is not what you think.
You need to get the beneficial organisms into the tea. If they aren't in the compost, they won't be in the tea. So, check your compost for the critters that work together to take out scab. If your total and active bacteria, and total and active fungi are ok, then check protozoa. If that's ok, then you have to look at doing a beneficial organism assay, and adding into your compost the organisms that are lacking.
Compost tea, well-made and with hte full foodweb needed, does not allow Venturia to grow. If the fungus is escaping, and you are getting disease, it says you don't have the coverage, with the right critters, that you need.
