[compost_tea] Re: NOP Sprouts
David -- Clearly you know more than I about sprouts and the NOP issues
around them. Appreciate the info. I know there is an effort to get
hydroponics supported by NOP but I'm not informed about that. I think
hydroponics may be an excellent organic method, thus my curiousity about
compost tea and sprouts. CTTF recommendation #9 doesn't make sense on its
face.
One among many of the conversations I enjoyed at the ICTC event Friday was
with a wheat grass grower who'd used vermicompost teas to "fertigate" them.
He said Johns Hopkins U had confirmed a protein content in his products 50%
above normal, no problems just better wheat grass food for cancer
recoverers.
I never imagined compost tea as a food additive...

I don't get this. What does "3 day old CT directly into the food supply"
mean? How does that happen?
And how does CT used in growing sprouts become a food additive?
If all you need is clean water to grow sprouts, great. If compost teas help
make better products, which I suspect is the case, that's even better. A
ban on any form of CT with sprouts seems inappropriate.
