Nice summary Ted! Thanks!

Did you include the need to test your tea once or twice as soon as you? Ye=
s, it is a bit expensive, but it will tell you if you are doing things righ=
t. You have to test using the proper procedures.Go to www.soilfoodweb.com =
to find the nearest lab.

Ted hit the nail on the head with the advice about compost. People can fool=
 around all they want with brewers and nutrients, but it is the microbiolog=
y in the compost that counts.

And, because it is Sunday, the day when the list "accepts" advertising, let=
 me advise those who are not sure about their compost or who want to use a =
 compost proven to excel in making teas, then check out www.alaskahumus.com=
. This is the rich, natural humus that produces the big vegetables in Alask=
a. It makes terrific tea with very high fungal and bacterial numbers. One b=
ox will last most home users a full season and spring approaches........Inq=
uire about larger quantities.

Cheers,

Jeff L
