Organic farming , vegetable waters as fertilizer

<table border=0 cellpadding=2 cellspacing="0"><tr><td>
<pre>Antonio, I would like to know what is your experience with mill's vegetable
water as a fertilizer.
Sadoun says that he has tried it successfully. Did you take any special
precaution (rainy period, quantity/hectare)? I understand you spread it quite
distant from the rows. Theoretically the water (and the more also the waste from
2-phase mills) should be optimal because they bring back the main elements that
the harvest withdraws from the plants (K and P plus organic material, especially
in the latter case). The problem is that the extraction process seems to create
certain ferments that are toxic for the microflora of the soil. I read a study
that says that it takes about one year to make the microflora return completely,
but that there is no remaining damage. So the overall performance should be
positive, as Sadoun confirms. The problem could be the underground water which
could be polluted. Anyway I would like to know which results have come out of
studies of Glynn Skerratt.
