You want a comment?

You can ask hard questions, but you have to ask them to the right audience =
and you have to ask the questions the right way. Will Brinton has a point=
 of view that we are all groupies of Dr. Elaine and that we are members of =
a "cult." We are mindless weenies as far as he is concerned and our results=
 don't count. Moreover, he has a professional axe to grind, IMHO, and SFI c=
onflicts with his business. Dr. Elaine has explained, over and over again t=
o these folks that the testing needs three years.

Don't worry, Will (he is a lurker), most of us won't drink Cool Aid if Dr. =
Elaine offers it. Believe it or not, some of us actually have brains of our=
 own, graduate degrees, advanced graduate degrees, practical and scientific=
 experience and NO axes to grind.

And sure, compost is the best. It is, however, darn near impossible to appl=
y to the phyllosphere and much more expensive to apply to any large area.
