I find it a little disconserting that someone with Rodale would repeat such=
 knee-jerk hysterical gossip as;
"that was until reports of compost teas contaminated with E. coli starting =
emerging."

If my memory serves me, this never happened and was based on rumors started=
 by a certain university professor who is opposed to compost tea [and Elain=
e] and two very poorly conducted studies, previously mentioned.

If someone has ANY evidence that e-coli or salmonela (sp?) contamination of=
 lettuce, melons & spinach resulted from use of compost tea please present =
it.
