Gday Allan
2 bobs worth from down under . I've followed this thread for a
while as I am pretty impressed with Elaine's work ( and the lady herself )
Seems you guys need to decide WHY it is that you want to test the
preps
is it ? 1. So that you have a scientific basis for making THE BEST
compost teas ever ? if so then the choice of what to test should be focussed
on that ( barrel compost and 508 ???)
if its 2. to prove to the world at large just how good these preps are
then hey Elaine's lab can not measure the energetic bit .
In either case I believe a full analysis on a couple of samples would
be more value than a cheap test on the lot
FWIW I have heard Arden Andersen say that radionically the
biodynamic preps are "Very Nice Materials" a term he does not seem to use
lightly.
