RE: [compost_tea] Re: ICTC



Hmmm drinking tea, seems I remember the good Dr. mentioned someone doing that when we met at her class!

 

I’m glad you have chosen to support ICTC, and believe we can make a difference. Even if some of our attempts are as mortal as the lemming the concepts and triumphs will survive.

 

Congratulations on getting up and running, I look forward to learning more about your experiences with small water features.

Tom, maybe I have been lurking for too long.  Are we drinking the tea?

How would lemming castings work.......(little humor)

I really appreciate everyone's input and effort to progress and
encourage all to keep in mind the overall picture. 

I have visited the ICTC site and think it is a step in the right
direction. We will support it. Thru combined effort, we can all make
a difference. 

Brett and I have been testing our program and will be up and running
by the end of next month. Look forward to that.

Tom, Thanks for your input, lemmings and all.
bob
