I educated myself. That's how I landed on not using Merit. :p The issue with how long it lasts in plant tissues is still quite muddy, as I understand what I've read everything that is known about how it's transported is by studying plants in the field.
He's not saying don't use the Merit because it will kill your microherd, either. He's saying that using a product such as Merit disqualifies the grow as organic automatically. Also, just because it's Subcool's SuperSoil doesn't automatically make it a soil-food-web system, it only means that one has used organic inputs.
My own contention with the successful grow that occurred during RA infestation is that those girls suffered no infestation because I used these methods, not just organic inputs. I foment, promulgate if you will, all life forms, encouraging the good, which should, hopefully, outcompete the bad. I think it worked, if not due directly to the herd, then perhaps due to it possibly encouraging much higher Brix levels in those plants, and therefore encouraged their ability to fight off all attackers. THAT is the rub.
**Edit** You got your post in before mine. Of course I know what "cooking" the soil generally means. I'm not sure what you mean by pointing that out, though.
