[compost_tea] Re: Best Environmental Technologies?
James,
I think it is good to have a lively discussion about 'organic' products tha=
t could be used in the same systems along with ACT and/or LCE.
It is important to seperate the 'smoke&mirrors&magic' from the science&art.
I also realize the definition for 'success' for any formulation, to include=
ACT and LCE, is a moving target and that the formulations that worked yest=
erday, may not worked today because conditions and needs have changed.
So it is important to stay in process, revise formulations in a methodical =
manner, and never fall in love with your formulations.
