Hi Henry,
My name is Timothy Bolander. In live in San Luis
Obispo on the Central Coast of California. I was a Peace Corps Volunteer in West
Africa where I was involved with introducing improved mud stove technologies. I
wish I had known about compost tea at the time.
With my partner we have designed an ACT brewer. The
design is simple. The cleaning is very easy. I believe that compost tea can be
very relevant to tropical crops. We may be able to help you. We have
designed a 5 gallon solar powered ACT brewer that may be appropriate in some
situation in the tropics. Let me know if you are
interested.
Sincerely,
Timothy Bolander

Dear group,
I am a certified Demeter biodynamic
spice farmer in Costa Rica. I have been asked to give a presentation on
sustainable agriculture advances, for an organic conference here in Costa
Rica and I have chosen "Aerobic Compost Tea" as the topic. The
participants will be technicians, faculty, students and farmers. This will
be the second time I have chose this topic. The first time the
presentation was based on advances in compost tea since the manure soak
and compost in a barrel days. I used informational material from
this list serve group, Dr. Ingham and ATTRA. Hardly anyone is aware of ACT
brewers here in Costa Rica. I have been planning to build a brewer based on
the advances that this group has been presenting. The cost of
importing a 100-200 gallon unit from the states had been more than I
could budget, so I was planning to build one. I am glad that I
waited as the technology and recipes have improved. Then I saw the recent
post about the Bobolater, which has received favorable reviews from you
all, in the North Country Organics website and I realized that their
25-250 gallon unit would be ideal for me to learn on and also use to
present at the organic conference. Shipping the drum would be
counterproductive and expensive. How and where can I purchase only
the compost tea brewer parts, sans drum? I know that to really
stimulate interest in ACT I need to have a working
model. Thanks,
Henry Karczynski
