It is customary to include your name with email

requests.  It could also be helpful to know

about your scale of production, crops grown,

brewing methods and goals, and so forth.

Tea Power was listed on this list a few weeks ago.

The post included full address and contact details

as well as important background information on the

source compost and context of the tea additives.

If you are a serious brewer prepared to make

250 gallons at a time for your farm, then you

can check it out for yourself and experience

Tea Power as part of a whole package approach

to soil testing, soil fertility, humus management,

compost tea making, and compost tea testing that

the company selling Tea Power offers.

If you are a gardener just asking questions,

you go to their web page and learn about it further.

I'm hopeful Midwest Bio-Systems will sell people a

1 unit box of their compost + vermicast blend,

without purchasing the whole set of Tea Power

additives, just to obtain the Luebke-style compost

for experimentation and experience.

Hi Justin -

Thanks for the additional details.  I had no

idea you are farming potatoes and white

wheat in San Luis Valley of Colorado.

The Next ACS Compost Workshop is July 28-30, 2004

in Princeton, IL.  ACS, Advanced Composting

Systems, is the term Midwest Bio-Systems uses

to describe humified compost; aka Luebke compost.

I suggest that you attend. It is one of the

best compost seminars you can find, and the

only one that addresses humified compost

and the in-depth knowledge associated with

controlled microbial compost.

Feel free to contact me off list if you wish

to obtain further resources on Luebke compost.

Actually, I prefer phone calls over email as

email lacks essential details I need to provide

technical assistance.   At a minimum: Name,

Address, Phone, Email, Occupation in detail

(farm acres, crops grown; or whatever).

At the same time, there are several companies

providing a full package of compost tea additives.

North Country Organics

Nature Tech

KIS

Alaskan Giant

Others

I'm pretty sure you can find good results with

anyone of these, upon brewing a few batches and

gaining experience.

Best wishes,

Steve Diver
