Yes, I was thinking of cutting out a second step of
adding the tea. Also to cut down on the compaction
caused by the trucks in the field.

I'm very aware of the both hydorseeding and mulch
spreading. I sold product to both markets and looked
into buying the mulch spreading machine. Decided
against because it would put me in competition with my
customers.

I was thinking about the value of organic matter in
the ornamental landscape at that time. My interest now
is how will my grand children be fed.

I can see several ways this concept could be applied
on small and large operations. As much as I hate large
corporate farms, they are a fact of life and a
combination of small and large is necessary to feed
us.
