Hey Mike,
I think Tom is correct, it can be very frustrating
to manage everything at once and the idea that you have to buy a certain
brewer or compost can be frustrating too.You
might feel better if you knew that even though I have unlimited supply to what
some would say is the world's very best compost, I STILL MAKE MY OWN COMPOST AND
TRY IT IN TEAS ALL THE TIME! And even though I
know that The KIS, Evans, Bob and BItti-0's give great results and have all of
them and use them all, I STILL FOOL AROUND WITH MY OWN HOMEMADES.
Of course you should use your own compost. And if
you can make a machine that works, go for it, too!
However, I do have to say there is something to
having known, tested equipment and compost. Not only do you know you are not
wasting time, but you don't have to go to the considerable expense repeating
tests and doing tests to get your machine/compost/vermicompost etc to the point
where it works! It isn't cheap. And, it gives you a standard from which to
deviate as you learn more about teas and do go off on your
own.
We don't talk about composting on this site because
we are not a composting site. We do talk compost. We don't spend much time
because many of us adopt the idea that if you say the word compost you mean one
thing: properly made compost.
Finally, we know of several folks in Agriculture
that are embracing compost teas. And I would hope by the time the Methyl Bromide
ban rolls around, many more will be!
I hope all that salmon you and Tom are eating
comes from Alaska rivers and is not farmed.....
Cheers,
Jeff
