Re: Search for results of Elaine's testing of bd preps

Sorry if you read me wrong, Jane. My intention was not to chastise you but simply bring you up to date. No emotional energy here.

I have total respect for Jean-Paul, which is why I was curious about why he would care about the physcial attributes of the preps.

Your remark about 'political bruha' seems to trivialize the actual state of things. It is important to understand that if the USDA says that manure-based compost teas are 'dangerous,' it's not going to be acceptable to the customers of we non-certified organic practitioners to provide them food that 'shit has been sprayed on.' Anyone to steps in the realm of reason in regard to this will really be putting themself in jeopardy should any of their customers become ill for any reason whatsoever after eating a meal containing tea blasted produce.

Let me be clear about this, though: the USDA is just discussing the sanctions on tea right now. This is not, as far as I understand, part of the certification rule currently. (Lloyd? Frank?)

Ironically, I have been thinking of adding oat straw tea to my daily routine. That and 1m hypericum 3x daily for a few weeks.

Thanks for the post, Jane -Allan
