[compost_tea] Re: withholding period



Seaneen,

One heck of a lot of "if" and qualifications. As good stewards and 
responsible representatives, perhaps it would be better to advise 
washing foods after having treated with ACT? I haven't seen many home 
ownner compost piles tested or properly maintained and few commercial 
piles either, why risk the dangers of an undocumented claim of safety?
