I like the way you put that. No mysterious magical claims. Just that you
are seeing definite benefit, and "it ain't hurting".

I like to consider myself an open minded skeptic. I will question both
sides of a position. In this case, there is more than enough anecdotal
evidence that compost tea helps in situations where it is not
counteracted with chemicals.

If the only claim that can be made for it is that it gives me healthier
soil and plants, then that is good enough for this skeptic to be willing
to use it.

I will say that Dr. Ingram's science appears to be done in a much more
convincing manner than what I have seen coming out of the anti-CT
researchers. And more important, her science matches experience.
