Thanks again, Elaine. People probably do what they know is right. The better they know it the harder it is to modify the pattern. Prime example - religion. People are killing the world over something they have no proof of. Re- learn? Haven't in centuries. Bob

Hi Bob -
If only the Growing Solutions and Soil Soup people would get their heads on straight, the world of compost tea could forge ahead faster. But we have to bring the recalcitrant along with the rest of us. We waste time having to educate them, over and over.
And if anyone doesn't believe that they have been harmful to the world of compost tea, just look at what Growing Solutions did with the work with BBC Labs. We could have avoided all that frou-ha-ha with the Compost Task Force if the OMRI recommendation had just been followed from the very beginning.
Sigh. Can their ignorance harm the rest of us? Very clearly, yes. Would there be less likelihood of harm if they would communicate with the rest of the world of compost tea before doing stupid and ignorant things on their own?
that over the eons native soils were reported by the expert(ELAINE)
to be generally very rich in microbes. Therefore microbes must
normally prosper in natural soil on native plants. But there needs
to be plants and roots to complete the soildfoodweb for the mocrobes
to persist. Am I on the right track? Passionately, Bob
