[compost_tea] Good chance for list people to meet......



 
 
THIS IS THE FIRST OF ITS KIND!
 
We are VERY EXCITED to be able to present this to you!  We would appreciate your help in distributing this information to your clients, associates and associations.

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!

Friday: Hendrikus Schraven, one of the original pioneers of compost
