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….

Giant vegetables
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.....
