Mal Heather of Stuarts Point, N.S.W.is an enthaustic advocate of the benefits of compost teas in a sustainable farming system.
Insert: Mal shows the fruit-set and health of a tree that was "a see-through" specimen, seriously infected with root rot. This tree was soil drenched with about 200 litres of compost tea and microbial foods just over twelve months ago. Mal firmly believes that his program of soil and foliar drenching with compost teas and biological nutrients is paying dividends to improve soil health, fruit quality and yeild. The background photo shows the overall tree health of the orchard. ( Photo taken early September 2007 )
