Me, Elaine and members of the Tahhoma Tree Fruit club in their booth. They invited me to show. I've given demos and talks to two of the Tree Fruit clubs so far and they have scheduled me for May 5th for Tahoma. I try to compress all you have taught me into 2 hours ( snicker) with a 6 page" take the info home" so I don't really have to say anything. Mixed emotions about letting you see what I wrote. I find the average fair going gardener has no clue about compost tea. They have heard of compost. After being with a group who have lived TEA for some years it is a surprise to learn that most people have never heard of it. Many who have no idea of the benefits, don't care to learn about it . This gives me a faint clue as to what your life is like when you are outside your admiring mob of "desiples". A big educatonal job to do before Organic will be understood and accepted by the buying public. You need to be on 60 minutes, good Morning America and a few hundred garden t
 alk shows Thinking more about that, you need all of us to help by going to the general public with your message. A few thousand garden clubs are actively looking for people who will come and talk about subjects like this. Part of my presentation is about the brewers I make but 90% of my talk is about the soilfoodweb and the advantages of organic agriculture on the ecology, soil, land, economics and health. How the SFW works and the effects of chemicals on soil and on us. Among members of these clubs I find a great interest and often already well informed members. Talks involve a lot of work but it is Fun!! I think that once someone inerested in gardening learns of TEA they will tune in to the subject more readily. Giving them sources of information will help. Your info_at_soilfoodweb.com may wear out, Elaine, Bob. .

Was it just you showing CT at the fair? Or were other tea makers there?
