Hi,
well answered Jeff,
 this whole question ties to the other discussion about standards as well, =
how many of the people are using compost tea or even compost, will the regu=
lation of the industry help this, Dr E says about the snake oil salesman an=
d we will always have these.

Based from the regulated organic industry that has in the last few years mo=
ved well away from biological production I have doubts about regulations,
I do however have huge faith in the SFI testing programme and the compariso=
n of product against product and the outcome of its use.

test- retest and retest the retest then publish the results, regulation lea=
ves loopholes.

regards
Bill Quinn
NZ.
