Everything is not just black and white - we should apply Elaine's rules to
compost tea made in a brewer by her methods - fish emulsion, liquid kelp,
herbal and manure teas, all sorts of slow brews are made under anearobic or
semi anearobic conditions and give us some wonderful, natural, plant
nutrition materials, results are what count!

Test it with a REFRACTOMETER measurement of plant brix on a small patch. the
plants will tell you quick smart whether or not its harmful!
