Its just like drinking everything in moderation, people need to make choices
that make sense.

To not be able to save some 200 year old trees because they are riddled with
root feeding nematodes and 25 lbs of indigenous forest soil out of 2500 acres
which is filled with beneficial nematodes probably is not a bad thing.

to come in and rape 20% of the soil floor well that is a major problem.
Remember the forest floor is also a renewable layer as leaves, twigs and branches
consistently fall and get recycled.

To just use compost tea without lots of granular food sources is not a great
thing. The bottom line is results, and a clear conscience. Their are no
absolutes and each case is a different thing.
