Agree with Steve. Not only that, but experimental data from flowforms used
with compost teas has already been reported in Dr Inghams E-Zine, I am sure
she can dig it out for you and it will be present when the archives are back
online. As I recall, the aerobicity was good in the forms, but care needed
to be taken to ensure no anaerobic zones developed in the holding area...
Another note, Jeff, all the emails from Robert Norsen are showing up blank
on my computer, any idea why that is happening? I checked with him, he says
he isn't doing it...
