RE: RES: [compost_tea] Giant vegetables



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….

 

Doubting Thomas,

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.....
