I heard a rumor today that a memo had been written a couple weeks ago by some
USDA toxicologist. This memo was very negative about compost tea. Owusu
Bandele has since been going about saying that compost tea is no longer
allowed.
Memos do not count as regulatory literature, so this cannot be allowed.
We just finished a full run of compost tea at SFI, with full organism, oxygen
and E. coli determinations. Regardless of level of molasses used - up to 10%
- there was no E. coli detected in the compost.
We'll get this into the scientific literature ASAP.
