There are also tests on SFI's site. Check em out!

Jeff, Elaine is correct:  where are the data? I only see test results 
for three samples on your website.  Plus, I wasn't talking about 
geologic mapping, rather about a sampling program (usually done in a 
grid shape and recorded on a geologic map).  Results from scientific 
sampling programs often show significant differences in content 
WITHIN a deposit.  Can't these scientic methods be applied to the 
microbiology of AH (this question is for everyone on the list...what 
do all of you think)? 

As to uniformity, we are talking soil biology rather than geology.  
We know that microbe content in soils are not necessarily uniform 
over short distances...am I correct, Elaine? I have no doubt that the 
deposit is uniform in terms of field geology identification.  It is 
beautiful humus, too. But, do you mix the AH so that differences 
between microbe counts laterally and vertically are negated, then 
take your sample?   As to the Geology 101 version of uniformity, 
samples, taken from just a few feet apart within a single strata of a 
specific formation, can appear uniform and show remarkable 
differences when viewed microscopically or analyzed chemically.  I 
found this to be the case in my M.S. research done in the 
geologically complex North Cascades.  The AH looks the same but is it 
the same?

I understand that not all information can be made public, but is 
their enough that is?  I'm considering a few different composts, 
along with AH, for use in my CT business.  AH is the most expensive, 
in part due to the cost of shipping from Alaska, and I would like 
data in addition to verbal assurances.  I am not trying to pick on 
you, Jeff, but I want both quality and value in the products I use.  

Respectfully,
Susan
