Hello, Kevin.

Congratulations on your baseball grounds maintenance contract.

I think your demonstration will be most convincing if you leave part
of each field unsprayed, treating it in the "conventional" way, or
alternatively, if you treat adjacent fields with compost tea and with
a conventional approach. This will allow side-by-side comparisons,
including soil analyses, at any point in time. As long as everything
looks good at all sites, you'll only need to do your soil tests at
one site.

The problem with treating everything with CT and then sampling over
time is that things other than your CT treatments (such as weather)
might affect your readings, making it difficult to make convincing
comparisons between before and after readings.

Just my two cents worth.

Good luck.

Ted Carey
