In any case Nick instead of ridiculing the ACT industry for making claims
that are little understood - perhaps not presented carefully or not
understood as presented, you would do the ACT business, including your own,
a favor to explain how the claims are true but not in the instant way they
interpet the message. Nature, at least safe biology, takes time to perform.
[Tom Jaszewski] Interesting that a salesman accuses one of the movers and
shakers in the industry of ridiculing the very industry he has done more
than most of us here to promote..anyone else able to interface with their
governor to talk about the future of tea?
.
OK, Nick? Good to hear from you. Tell us about your use of ACT in your
lawn care business. And about that license. A license to apply ACT? Bob
[Tom Jaszewski] Yes LICENSE! Go back and read the cut and paste I posted
from the UK. The very language and claims you so carelessly make can and
will lead to regulation! (BTW a license is needed to apply labeled products
like BT..a little thought before YOU ridicule please!)

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
