Organic growers now have to prove everything is organic in what they use on their crops.  I got a compost tea brewer and nothing about what the food is or no ingredients.  Some folks that are selling these brewers and formals don't want to tell you what they are using.  they say its organic.   if it is organic like they say it should have a organic certification number.  Us growers have a inspector that comes by every year and they ask questions like.  what you feeding that compost tea.  the farmer needs the organic proof.  darn .  they say its organic but no proof.  I sent them good money and they said its organic but  organic growers need to know what's in it what is the food what's in the compost how was it made.  they are as bad as the chemical companies that will not tell you what are in inert ingredients.  I would hope you people selling this compost tea brewer stuff calling it organic will send the paper work with it.  I hope this is organic now .  I don't want to loose years of being organic just because I want to use compost tea.  Its not enough to just say oh all the stuff is organic you need to help the grower out.  if its organic you should have organic registration numbers or be listed in the omri brand name products list.  If you say the stuff is organic send the paper work along with the brewer.  this is not right.  now am getting talk about the company does not want to tell you the brand names but don't worry its on the OMRI list.  well what good do it do to tell me it on the list but don't give me the name that's on the list so I can look it up.   boy that is not right it puts the farmer between a rock and a hard place.  we got uSDA saying you got to know and we got folks saying  they we will not tell you just take their word for it. .  no fair.  everyone talks big. oh its organic .  well if you use that name organic it better be . what's your organic registration number how did u make the compost what u feeding it I got bags of unmarked stuff.  I got a brewer and the direction said mix this bag with this bag and this bag and don't worry it all organic.  the USDA inspector will not go for that.  he wants to know what is in those bags  . and I want to know what's in the bag.  You try to do the right thing .  I have not add anything for years on my land now  when I do because of all the talk here about all the benefits of compost tea I find I have problems getting information.  I got USDA organic Gestapo giving me the 3 rd degree every year and I need proof.  Just saying the guy told me don't worry its organic don't get it anymore. Darn after you buy it you find out there is not organic proof only the mans word.  Sure I trust him but The USDA will not take our word anymore so help us out and send the proof with the products .  I need documentation.  that's is the most important thing for a organic grower is the paper.  the USDA want to see the paper work.  they will not take our word for anything if they did we would not need a organic Gestapo checking on us every year . We would not have to take hours and hours to fill out paper work we would not have to have an inspector a certifier the USDA and the State of cal. all putting us through all this .  So I want my paper work. you said its organic now prove it.you said it OMRI listed so I need proof.   its easy we have to do it every year for the rest of our organic growing life.  what's get me is he said its on the OMRI list before I sent my money and now he says I can't tell you the name.  NO fair.  I have asked nice for over two weeks what do you all think?  last thing I heard was I have a call into my supplier.  I dn't know if they will share brand names with us due to pripropritey (sp) info.m    now is a bad time to tell me that.   no fair.I thought the compost tea folks would be righteous and not leave us in a bind.
