Re: [compost_tea] Re: sharing the cost
Hi group,
My name is Steve Bridges. I have a retail, organic nursery in Bastrop, Texas
which is just east of Austin. I have been following this list for quite some
time now, and would like to offer monetary assistance to the study. We have
been making and giving away compost tea (untested, but have had positive
results from our customers and here at the nursery), for two years now. I am
wanting to move into making the best tea, tested and proven, to sell to our
customers for a reasonable cost.
I am very interested in providing tea (tried, tested, and true) and the
means for our customers to make their own. It falls right into the
educational aspect of our approach to the way we run our business. If I know
more, I can pass it on.
So count me in on limited funds for the test.
I have more questions later, if this process proceeds.
