Default Dangers & Falsehoods Surrounding Compost Tea

While you are very quick to jump
on the 'down with the evil, money grubbing, environmentally raping and
pillaging Monsanto' bandwagon, you hasten to adopt the self-same righteous
indignation regarding the benefits of compost tea as those you castigate with
respect to the safety of glyphosate/ RoundUp - despite mounting evidence to the
contrary (and yes, that includes a LOT of closely controlled and monitored
ongoing scientific trials), you dismiss it as a lot of snake oil hocus-pocus
and yet another wild conspiracy by shoddy nursery owners to dupe the
unsuspecting customer.



I thought it was refreshing to see a criticism of "organic" hoakum for a
change, instead of the usual manifesto about the evils of Monsanto, Ortho,
and Scotts. Ratgirl moves up a notch or two in my opinion -- not that my
opinion is worth much...

Just be very careful and somewhat skeptical when the experts giving an
opinion about something are the same folks trying to sell it to you.
