I'm just curious to know if this aerobically brewed compost tea people are
selling is potentially dangerous.

The "real" organic gardeners are into "do it yourself because you know
the ingredients."
In theory compost tea is safe because of the heat generated by the
composting process, but what went into the compost?
If the compost was made from lawn clippings heavily treated with
herbicides, chemical fertilizers and insecticides how safe is it?
Or, if the compost tea was made from diseased material and the
temperature was not high enough?
