[compost_tea] compost tea and biodynamics



Title: compost tea and biodynamics
hey there group

I have just been reading, Compost Teas: Principles and Prospects for Plant Disease Control (Compost Science and Utilization, Autumn, 2002, by Steve Scheuerell and Walter Mahaffee)

One thing that I thought was strange in their description of the history of compost teas was the omission of biodynamics.
It seems to me that biodynamic preparations such as "500" are like homeopathic compost teas, and this practice of humus production and subsequent liquification has been going on for decades. Ive also read  that the biodynamic farmers are using vortexes to aerate the preparations. I noticed that in one of the compost tea brewers, it had a vortex aerator.

I'm not a biodynamic farmer but I'm just wondering why there isn't a stronger link between compost tea making and biodynamics?

maybe there is and I haven't noticed it yet.
