These results are not mere opinions. They are heavily researched procedures.
www.soilfoodweb.com will give much of that information.


YES!!!

This is a commercial website that promotes ideas either disproven or
unproven as factual. You can find a thousand just like it, all very
positive. For every two thousand sell-you-crap websites praising compost
tea, you'll be able to find one actual piece of peer-reviewed science that
shows the opposite to be true. Any site invested in selling you stuff is
not going to provide you with the actual data of compost teas harming
ground water, leaching too quickly out of soils to be of any benefit,
injuring plants with excessive amounts of fertilizer, being in every
regard inferior to a topcoating of mulching compost, NOT improving the
microorganism content of soils, NOT repairing anaerobic soils, and for the
most part not even hindering pathogenic organisms (no more than would a
good soaking with pure water in any case).

Not everything labeled "organic" is a good thing. The pro-Chemical lobby
just hates it when "ecofundies" refuse to believe cancerous toxic
chemicals are good for us & our gardens & go all insane in defennse of
their PetroChemical fetish. Will greenies get just as up in arms when
their favorite organic fad is found out to be 99.9% flimflam? Watch the
Compost Tea thread(s) to find out!
