Re: [compost_tea] Re: More on CT's for strawberries



Steve -

Talk to Paul Wagner at the SFI NY lab.  DAta on dealing with the nasty eastern rots using CT.  Talk with James Sottilo, same story.  Recipes have to be worked on, have to grow beneficial fungi in the tea, but Jeff Lowenfels is doing just that.  He has some good stories too.

Just finished up work with an organic banana grower in Australia.  Compost and CT worked well on the root-borer, root rots, and weeds.  He now has ryegrass in his banana plantation instead of couch grass!   More work to do to improve things though!  Won't be happy until he's making 2.5 boxes of bananas per tree!

My talk has changed considerably over the last year.  More information on where this is working.  Check out the updates of the revised Compost Tea Brewing Manual.  Those of you who get my e-zine received the first update last month, more this month!
