Thanks jeff much Better!!
well I am working alongside a bunch of Vermicomposters and some
mushroom ranchers, both of which have a need to move large volumes of
either composts.
I work and live in horticulture, I do high end residential
landscape maintenance and am interested in teas for injetion and
foliar applications, I work with poeple for frost protection, insect
and pathogenic fungus protection mainly on trees and have been
researching how to turn decidous trees into evergreens through
nutrition. My main interest is how to use the teas once they have
been made.
  I did find most of the information I was looking for in
the "files" section, that seems to be a great resource thread.
  Ultimately I have been charged by my employer to come up with a
whole suite of Products and services based on CT technologies.
The down size is that I cannot directly quantify the potential
results from using teas on trees as the conditions of specific trees
and the varied brewing practices are so varied. Simply, if I cannot
show how much "work" I can get done with a specified amount of CT, I
then will have a hard time pricing out my service.
Right now I charge $60.00 an our plus materials. If there is a
potential to increase effectiveness (cure rate) of problemed and
diseased plants through better nutrtition and microorganismic
competition, I should be able to create a specific business model
(industry) around that technology.
  So in a round about way I, the answwer to your question is; I am
not brewing yet. I am doing some homework looking into doing a
volume venture potentially with thousands of gallons of CT going out
monthly.
