sorry, some guys lab results is not science.
Ya think? That's ridiculous. I'm sure Carlos would deliberately choose and pay some pot shot, partisan lab to do his tests.
Tell ya what, how 'bout you call 'em up, or visit in person - Denele Analytical, Inc. Environmental and Agricultural Analysts and tell them their full of shit. (209) 634-9055
i didnt questions lab results.
i also didnt question intention or ethics.
all i see is a snapshot.
there is no before and after, no timeline
no CONTROL PLOT.
what was the starting density ?
what was the moisture content before and after
(did it just rain? - what was the PH of any moisture input ? N content ?)
temperature ?
did someone add compost a week before, and its just breaking down during the test ?
by "microbial activity" it could mean that the chemicals
killed all the good biology, and there is an explosion of root-not nematodes and anaerobic microbes
eating up all the dead microbes.
or...
Maybe this works for 1 week, then it all goes to hell ?
this is off the top of my head
there are im sure a dozen more parameters which would need to be taken into account
before anything remotely called science can be attached to 1 number.
