Re: of COURSE I eat manure!!!

Yes, I do eat manure. Composted horse manure, recycled through my plants. And so should you, although "organic" standards(in California, at least) forbid on-site composting, so those who are forced to buy much of their produce(as I am, most of the year) are deprived the life-enhancing benefits of these recycled nutrients:) They have to go BUY compost, and I honestly don't know whether or not there is anything of animal origin in that compost. It matters not, as purchased compost has the life sterilized right out of it. Organic standards also forbid animals in the garden(guinea fowl, ducks, etc, a great source of fresh soil enrichment)

I want to see documentation on this statement:

"this is why high brix is good and does not attact the manure eating microbes and why low brix is bad and does attract those microbes."

We're talking about ROTTING fruit here. I know that sick plants on the vine attract insect infestation.

IMO, "low-brix" rotting produce would attract the same hard working beneficial microorganisms that rotting high-brix produce would, and I don't believe that any of those would be classified as "manure-eating".
