I think I burned up my KIS air pump. Designed for 12 warm brews and I used
it for 24 hour cooler, homemade recipes. Am invesitagting the pump further
this morning.
Things are cool down here. I am trying to keep my thermal compost pile
going through the winter. I moved our compost tumbler out to the sunny
southern exposure.
I've got 50 bags of fruitless mulberry woodchips and leaves from October.
Then I listened to Dr. Ingham's CD lecture on the Soil Food Web and am
trying to get them out of the bags and into aerobic compost as soon as
possible. Is the anerobic process perminant? Certainly it takes longer,
but couldn't nutrients be freed up at the end like three-week compost tea?
Looked over our state's Organic Producer's Certificate again for the first
time in over a year. Seems I put it on the shelf because it was going to
take three years anyways. Noticed "compost tea" given the same
requirements/restrictions as compost. Also saw manure tea listed
seperately. Will be contacting our state office to see if we cannot keep
our already established sensible deffinition of compost tea.
My legislators sent me an end of the year, catch up on correspondence quote
on the NOSB decision. They have no idea what's going on.
