Yep. In the few tests that we've done, it helps knock out E. coli, if you
are using a poor compost, or if you aren't sure about whether the compost is
good stuff.

We need to do more study on this, comparing teas with poor compost wihtout
the garlic, and teas made with the same poor compost with the garlic. The
work so far is compost we knew had E. coli from previous study, added the
garlic juice, and no E. coli in the tea.

Interesting......
