Kathleen,

I would welcome the opportunity to trial some of the formulations that I ha=
ve made specifically for organic blueberry growing using a combination of U=
SDA NOP compliant foliar and soil amendments.

There are some ACT approaches, yes, I did say ACT, to help with mummy berry=
 and some soil conditioning that can be done, with a vermicompost that I ha=
ve formulated specifically for blueberries and their unique soil environmen=
t, whose focus is to improve the overall health status of the plants.

Some these formulations have evolved from a trial I did with an organic blu=
eberry grower in Florida. One unexpected outcome from this trial is that we=
 lost all our test plants because customers visiting the growers nursery bo=
ught them all because they looked better than the non-trial plants.

Contact me via email, give me somes details and we can make arrangements fr=
om there.
