The International Compost Tea Council (ICTC), a non-profit organization devoted to education, research and setting standards for successful compost tea, is offering the first in its series of hands-on practical compost tea trainings. This format is a departure from conventional compost tea seminars that offer only theory, by providing hands-on experience of the brewing of compost tea, selection of compost, foods and equipment, through application and cleanup. Included is practical comparison in the use of a variety of brewers, what makes them different, what makes them work, and what is necessary for successful compost tea. Friday is devoted to the professionals; golf courses, municipalities, landscape professionals and applicators. For applicators this seminar offers 7 recertification credits for the entire Friday?s training. WSNLA is offering 8 credits for the Certified Professional Horticulturalist. Hands-on training includes various spray units, brewers, nozzles, techniques and innovations. Saturday is devoted to the homeowner, gardener or do-it-yourselfer, from beginner to experienced compost tea user. Learn how compost tea solves numerous garden problems and promotes healthy, resilient plants and turf. Experience techniques in what to apply, when, how much, and how often; answer questions or solve problems you may have had using compost tea. Instructors include: Friday & Saturday: Dr. Elaine Ingham, the most sought-after soil and compost tea expert in the world today, speaking to over 50,000 people in 2001!
