[compost_tea] The chemical world
With needing hours for my commercial applicators license, I went to
the Wilbur Ellis show today. When I would tell people I use compost
tea, I was asked if I was one of those who claimed I could thatch a
lawn and aerate it in 30 minutes with one application of compost
tea. I told them NO and that anyone who made those accusations
where selling snake oil. They said that they've been told that
compost tea kills caterpillars and aphids. We all know there is no
truth to that. I also explained to them that compost tea is
basically organisms that go into the soil to help with cycling and
we still need to do nutrient testing to get our program underway.
Now, after spending time at that show and hearing these wild claims,
I can see how so many people are skeptical of our industry - with no
test plots, data or even pictures to back up the REALISTIC and
beneficial use of compost tea. Nick
