  Hi Ted -

  A possibility, an alternate explanation is, that given the compost you ar=
e using, you don't have the lower temperature organisms in the compost. If=
 the compost was made in such as way as to exclude the lower tempeature org=
anisms, so they are not present in the compost, then you can't get them in =
the tea brew either.

>> The compost I use is made by my business associate Tim Bolander. I gu=
arantee it is the best compost available in this area and probably any othe=
r also. He creates compost especially for diversity. He has been composti=
ng for over 20 years and has attended many of your lectures. He is French =
and wears a beret. It would be hard ot miss him. He is the best at compos=
ting as far as I can tell. We have been playing around with cold compostin=
g processes similar to the work being done in Austria: Smaller windrows and=
 lots of bacteria/fungi. Temps never get above 100 dF. and mostly stay aro=
und 80-90 dF range.
