Anything different or any other tips or personal experiences you've seen better?

Yes, I'm getting Time Wilson's brewer to start with.

If you look closely at Tim's site http://www.microbeorganics.com/ under "Where's your data" you will find a link to a Soil Foodweb Lab analysis of AACT I brewed with Tim's 50 gal brewer. http://microbeorganics.com/SFI%20Mic...tor%20Test.pdf

How long will those worm castings last when stored in a plastic bag?

my worm farmer puts them in sacks, the same kind of material that 50lb bags of lesco turf seed comes in.

i suspect they'd last for years like that.

Hi Rick-
Interestingly enough I had a client suggest I look into this service. One part I'm not sold on is how can such a little concentrate be very efficient compared to the 1 pound of compost per square foot we're applying when topdressing? Are there any special licenses necessary? I'd like to see an existing compost tea spray company's brochure.

Yeah, Adam... I know what you mean.

I'm not sure how big of a market here in Northern IL for the compost tea spraying.

I think I will list my ad this year in the paper for "Lawn Renovation with Organic Compost Spreading". Then have my website listed underneath with my phone number also.

I would like to come up with a spraying system for My ExMark Aerator. I was thinking of making a metal frame over the engine so I could sit a 30 gallon sprayer above the engine, so I could spray organic compost tea.

This way, I can see if there is a market for organic tea without spending too much money on something that isn't very well know around here.

It might take a year or two before it takes off??? Not sure???

a few years ago i was the only one doing this... now almost all the big guys offer it.

i was glad when NC State started doing research on organic lawn care, but since they started releasing results, everybody is jumping on the bandwagon.
