Hi Folks,

I'm sorry for the delay but as promised following are the results of
the attempt to stop and shrink a powdery mildew (pm) infection with
foliar applications of aerated compost tea. This was not a
scientifically run trial and observations are anecdotal. The results
were not as profound as previously observed on occasion. There are
several potential variables, one being the age of the worm castings
used. The castings were harvested about 5 months ago. The pm was,
however, put into 90% remission through daily applications over a
period of 7 days. The tea (2 batches) was brewed for 48 hours with a
water pump, venturi and bag extracter. The temperature ranged from
65 to 88 degrees. The ingredients; 100 liters of spring (well)
water, 1 liter of black strap molasses, 65 ml of fish hydrolisate;
IN BAG > 5 liters worm castings, 250 ml of Norwegian kelp meal, 65
ml of rock phosphate granules, 65 ml of pyrophillite clay powder.

Cheers,
Titel
