Re: DIG-L: a note on "philosophical" vs. "technical" discussions

David,

Why are you so cynical and about what ?
Of course, liquid and solid fuel from anaerobic digesters is a much safer biofertiliser than straight manure. Organic farming using manure is criminal and should not be allowed. It is an enormous potential health hazatrds.

Maybe the Sri Lankans like to teach you something and you do not believe because it comes from a developing country.

There is absolutely nothing mystical about this. IT IS SIMPLY TRUE ! I am not an organic fanatic, but I like to see organic farming done properly and without health hazard.

Think about it !
