Re: [compost_tea] Re: 131 degrees Farenheit heated compost for 3 days
I disagree based on findings from testing. While the compost can contain N=
D amounts of pathogens, brewing at higher temps and food will cause them to=
grow. I think we cannot depend on compost "standards" re: pathogens if we=
ever hope to get compost tea certified. We need procedures that completel=
y as possible de-emphasize pathogen growth.

Excellent points Ted; simple and straightforward!
I believe Henry is simply stating that a double standard exists within th=
e current regulations..."that if the compost met the standard, and that sam=
e compost is used for ACT then the tea should meet the same standard...base=
d on current regulations.
