RES: [compost_tea] Vegetable quality
I will try some CT on corn, dry beans, ginger and other crops
with relation to brix increase whenever I can and will let you know.
Fortunatelly we have a few list members from "down below"
and can do experiments round the year.
Any Australians willing to help ?

I have not had much luck - seemed like no
one
was interested - maybe your letter will do the trick

(I have posted many messages about using refractometer to monitor CT -
in
most cases the silence has been deafening)
