I just ran into a bloke teaching a permaculture course who is teaching 
that PVC drastically reduces bacterial development used in a compost tea 
brewer. There are a lot of bad things about PVC but inhibiting bacterial 
growth in a compost tea brewer is not one of them.

It is what I use and I don't think anyone can say my brews lack 
microorganisms. This guy is telling people not to purchase the <...> 
brewers on this basis and of course <....> and many others. He is 
looking for a lawsuit if he cannot back this up with a legitimate study.

When I asked for the source of his information he named Paul Taylor of 
Australia.

I replied to the list with this comment:

"That is ridiculous. He will incur the wrath of the permaculture 
community as they do indeed tend to take a hard look at how others
use the name permaculture to promote their businesses. This would be 
labelled snake oil and would give the movement a bad name, important 
because so many honest professionals depend on the public seeing 
permaculture as being credible. "
