Nope. Compost tea enables uptake if the minerals are present in the soil. After 7 years (or less) non-native plants will exhaust the mineral supply.

Further, the yield per acre is proportional to the quantity of mineral input. Compost tea hardly registers on that scale.

I find your remarks about a closed mind highly insulting. They are without merit.
