In my experience, Compost Tea is not a curative in the medicinal sense. If=
plants exhibit the symptoms of disease or in the case of powdery mildew th=
e actual disease, applying compost tea will do nothing to cure the problem.=
You may be better served by asking for pictures of treated and untreated =
plants. If the untreated suffered disease outbreak and the treated did not=
, you have a strong case for its use.
Vinyards and roses would seem to be likely targets. I have lot's of turf p=
ictures but none show compst tea "curing" anything.

Subject: [compost_tea] photos to use?
Hi everyone.
I'm wondering if anyone out there can provide me, or point me in the dire=
ction of a good website, with photos that I could use on a display poster f=
or a "compost tea party" that I am helping out at. The audience is going to=
be comprised primarily of Master Composters, Master Gardeners, the general=
public with maybe a few commercial growers.
I'm not looking for anything really fancy, perhaps some shots showing com=
parisons of plants with disease vs. plants that have had a foliar applicati=
on of tea to treat that disease; or plants that have had a root drench vs. =
some that have had no treatment; or something that may show the results of =
applications of a fungal and/or bacteria dominated tea ...
This is only a 2'x3' display, so obviously I don't need a lot.
Your help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks.
Lois
