I pulled this from SANET, a list all about sustainable agriculture and often the science behind it. Many of the foremost expert in the world belong to this list and are active on it. This conversation about compost tea and the NOP has been especially interesting. Just hit the link below to read all about it.

Maybe you're a home gardener and don't follow the sustainable agriculture
discussion, but you might still be interested in some recent discussion
threads underway on the SANET mailgroup.
The talk has been about the safety of compost tea, the relative danger of
E. coli, the US Dept. of Agriculture's Natl. Organic Program standards, and
methods of analyzing the microbial power of brewed compost tea. Dr. Elaine
Ingham, ATTRA's Steve Diver, Joel Reiten, and your friend Joel Gruver are
among the active thoughtful contributors.

If you want to listen in without joining the list you can pick through the
threads at the archive site -- http://lists.sare.org/archives/sanet-mg.html
Look in late October and recent November postings.

Thanks for the info!

I'm a big Dr. Ingham fan! I've got her latest Compost Tea Brewing manual.

I make special aerated compost teas every week.
Currently I'm using them to speed up my hot compost piles, feed my greens in my fall garden, and supply of microbes as a biostimulant for my cover crops.

Thanks!
That's a really interesting site. (if a little overwhelming in terms of information.:>)
