Re: RES: [compost_tea] Don't use MOLD



Jose, I think you hit the nail on the head, we need more scientific 
evidence. I try to be careful with the testimonials because that is 
what they are testimonials.When you look at the tea board there are 
250 members and only a dozen post messages hmmmm!!! what are the 
motives of these lurkers? When someone new comes to the board and 
posts they are bombarded with sales pitchs and offers for brewers and 
the like. The opening to this message board states that there is 
now "clear scientific evidence" about compost tea. In my opinion this 
is where we need to be headed.Boy that rant felt good, now back to 
reality until someone or organization with deep pockets comes up with 
money to fund this research we have to rely on each other for the 
dissemination of info. A friend of mine says this "compost tea stuff 
is like the wild west" I am starting to think he is not that far 
off. -
