I have sent a few images to Dr Elaine´s e mail addres
because I am not sure if the list can accept file images.
She can tell you whether or not they are really giant.
My basic recipe includes Molasses, Humisolve-USA,
Brewer´s Yeast, Coral Calcium, Basalt Dust, Ground algae
( we don´t have algae extracts in Brazil), Sea minerals and
some Blood meal. I use Vermicompost mainly to make compost
tea. My compost tea was basically bacterial in the few times I
had it analised.
I tried to follow Compost Tea Manual guidelines as much as I could.
To my knowledge it did work.
I really don´t care if some academic says that it is hype and they are
still
waiting for the data behind its utilization. I have no time to wait for
that.
Besides I am too bussy growing all my crops and breaking several
records.

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.....
