Jeff,

You mentioned several times that your white fly has been eliminated or
more precisely that you have no white fly.  But is that because you never
had a white fly infestation or that it was eliminated by tea or another
explanation.  I would really like to know more about what you have
observed.  I have no white fly in my area of Oceanside but they are a
problem in other areas of Dan Diego county and I work with an IPM gardener
who would be very interested to know of specidifc information on the us of
compost or casting tea to deter white fly.
