organic gardening must be ok now, Harvard discovered it.
There's not much magic involved in growing grass in Massachusetts - although I applaud the program I am also suspicious that it's success has to do with someone spending the time to intelligently work out a maintenance program than abstaining from the use of fertilizer.
Nope. The pilot project with actual test plots (fertilizer vs. organic) done side by side showed significant improvement from the compost tea.
Sounds like they weren't using a fertilizer with the correct nutrient balance.
