Bob,
 
Please, this is exactly my concern with our industry making these outrageous claims.  It's garbage at best!  I've been to the Texas Conference and have heard Elaine and others tout the virtues of compost tea but the fact remains that while the State of Texas will let you label approve just about anything, you cannot get compost tea label approved in many states because you cannot show the test results done using good methodology to prove these claims.
