consistency
Susan, I guess it is Sunday somewhere, so I can
answer your question....we are not advertising here.
Of course we have the property mapped and tested.
I can't answer with too much more specificity without giving up some
trade secrets that are not mine to give up! However, I can say the
property from which Alaska Humus comes from has been extensively
mapped, sampled and tested with both surface and depth in mind. This
particular deposit is not the 70 foot deep one you envision, however. These
tests have been done through SFI ( and others) since 1999. If we start
taking AH from another site, you can be sure it will be
extensively tested as well. We are just as concerned about the sanctity
of AH as you because we use it ourselves and sell it to our neighbors.
In addition to the site
having been extensively sampled and tested, and that testing continues,
let me put your specific fears to rest: If you want to know how
your individual box of AH tests out, all you need do is look at
the tests we include with the purchase. We take internet sales from
a single container located in our warehouse that holds about 1200
pounds. Every time we fill it, we test that specific 1200 pound
batch with SFI. We also post tea tests made with that
batch on our internet site.
We make and test our own teas using AH from
the very same warehoused container. We, too, want consistent, great teas
with the high fungal and bacterial numbers Alaska Humus "promises." That
is why we got into this business in the first place, so we could make
killer teas. Frankly, this is still the main reason we are in business. We
like to make great tea!
To bring this around to a non-commercial topic,
how many times have we heard that any manufacturer of Compost Tea products and
Machines should be able provide tests? Alaska Humus does. Many others do
as well.
I hope this answers your question
sufficiently?
Cheers,
Jeff
P.S. I, too am a former geologist! Exploration
geology is fun during college years, but it isn't for families or
arthritic bodies. In any case, you may remember the law of uniformity from
Geology 101? It applies to Alaska AH as it does to deposits of coal,
humates,......
