[USCC] (no subject)

[Chaney, Rufus]

Dear Listserve participants:

First, I think Mike's comment is a little "over the top". Grapes and
wine are valuable agricultural products. And grapes respond well to
applications of compost. We should not bite the hand of a customer.

I was surprised by Kuter's comment that DE may be harmful; this may be
true but I don't know it from other sources. I think DE is still used in
filtering fruit juices at many location. I once advised about issues
where the DE and filtration byproduct was hauled to farms and land
applied in orchards or other land. In a northeastern state. Lots of
juices were being filtered with DE at that time. And the direct land
application was regulated like a biosolids project with plant available
N limits.

Regards,

Wineries, eh?

Good luck with your Dionysian, Hitler, Mussolini, Franco, Hirohito
Nazional 
AmeriKan endeavors.

Composting is good, but what, for example do we do with all the wine
bottles 
and the myriad of other packaging trash that this ridiculous decadent
supply 
side Fascist "culture" produces?

Workin' for peace and cooperation,
