Re: [compost_tea] the chemical world
Thanks Elaine. That was a great post on what specific micro organisms
can do.
You wrote: <Isn't the correct conclusion that perhaps some important=
set or sets of organisms were lost from their tea in the process of
either brewing, or application?>
and I respectfully add: "Or wasn't in their compost to beg=
in with."
Too many people expect compost tea microbiology to be better than their
compost's. It should have higher numbers, yes, but if there is no
diversity, for example, or low numbers in the first place, the tea
won't have it either. You have to start out with compost (using Doc's
terminology, if it is not good compost, it isn't compost. Yes you can
substitute Vermicompost and Alaska Humus for "compost").
Cheers,
Jeff
