Sorry to be a contrarian here..
I grew lots of vegetables this year too. Were they larger sweeter, better
tasting and bigger? Yes clearly they were!
Did I have fewer disease and insect problems? You bet!
Am I ready to declare CT produces giant vegetables and is a fungicide and
pesticide? No, it's a different paradigm, a part of another way of
gardening.
Should we be representing CT with Alaskan Humus as a means to giant
vegetables? Can anyone using tea and AH get the same results? That seems to
be the implication and does CT a disservice IMHO.
My friends in Alaska don't match John's success but I haven't seen CT
vegetable match their smaller than John's sizes. I'd like to hear and see
some more examples..

Hi -
John Evans' work at Alaska Giant documents that it is not merely the long
days that produce the giant vegetables in his garden. His neighbors, in the
same soil, with the same day lengths, keep trying to grow the same giant
vegetables that he grows, and they are not successful.
What he does differently from his neighbors is to use Alaska Humus, and
compost tea made from Alaska Humus.
Is it the Alaska Humus, or the compost tea with all the beneficial organisms
in it that makes the difference?
>From Jose's experience with compost tea, it seems to be the compost
tea......
So Joe, what machine and what recipes do you use? Willing to share that
information?
Other people growing giant vegetables, what do you use? Which machines,
which recipes?
Only by having repeatable data do we advance.....
