Jerry;

How about compost?

There must be a source of infection. This is sure to make people think twice
about the advantages vs the risk of organic relative to conventional ag.

I've been trying to keep up with that since I grow sprouts
here, but I haven't seen any mention of compost teas in any
of the stories I've read so far - and I don't see any need
or reason to use compost teas when growing sprouts.
