RES: [compost_tea] More smoke and mirrors



Regardless the aspect of the patent itself which is totally absurd

I would like to draw the attention of this list for the idea itself.

This is something I have been working for a while. I was trying

myself  to develop a chitinase rich compost buy nurturing fungi

specialized in degrading chitin.

How ? Simply by feeding crustaceous ( sp.?) powder to try to

develop a chitin loving flora in the compost.

ow by feeding How ?

 

If this guy is right we could them feed worms in the same way

and worm casting will be full of chitinase producing organisms.

Now, this worm compost can be used to make Compost Tea

and theoretically this compost tea will have those chitinase

producing organisms that can attack and destroy insects.

Another reason to make fungal Compost Tea instead

of Bacterial Compost Tea because the critters who makes chitinase are

fungi and not bacteria.

Anyone can do that. Patent or no patent.

 

I will run to the nearest worm bin and will start to feed them Shrimp

shell powder to see if their casting will be rich in chitinase producing

organisms. According to the person applying for the patent the fire ants

will tell you if the compost has chitinase or not. They will not cross over it.

 

I believe that this brings a new field of study and experimentation for

everyone . Even for SFI . New tests for those organisms needs to be

designed based on chitin degradation.

 

Please let me know if the whole idea does make sense.

 Can you tell us how it would be possible for this patent to be used by the inventor? 

I don't really understand what is being patented.  The abstracts are just descriptions of natural processes.  What is the patentHow can a patent like this be used
