Thanks Elaine, I will look at the advisor information. Most of these clubs are not paying anything but are offering a stage to demo a product. I find less than 10% of my talk is about my products but some time is spent describing the aeration system as against a bag in a bucket system. At the Fair I found almost eeryone who knew something about compost tea was a bag of manure in a bucket for a few weeks. Or the TEA that runs out from under their pile. They don't want to hear about how that may not be safe or useful. " their garden grows well with it" is the normal remark. I sent a answer to Laura and Jeff that may be of interest to you, Elaine. Jeff does well but how can he afford to travel to this area for no fee? Can I send my hand-out to you for comment? Bob .

There is a great deal of education involved. And I love to go give talks. But there are Soil Foodweb Advisors, trained to give similar talks as I, and probably don't require the fee that I do to come talk.

So, take a look at the SFI website, and find the Soil Foodweb Advisor listing to see who in your area can give the talks. And spread the word!!!!!

I also think that inviting Jeff Lowenfels to come talk to groups would be great too. He is great to listen to, and really understands the foodweb, just like you od, Bob!
