Re: [Fwd: [compost_tea] Digest Number 371]



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
