Iknow several growers who use a 55gal drum for compost tea! oxygen is very important, using a pump & soaker hose to make bubbles!

Its ether go big or stay home! IN the mid west we have a company called Brew and Grow this morning i spoke with Dav the owner on the matter. He had lots of good advice it give. I could hear wheels turning in his head, so don't know where this will end up. 2000lb here i come!
soaker hose works quite well but takes an unbelievable amount of cfm to take full advantages of it.

Now that ive figured out how to go about it, I just need some good seeds. Is there any one wanting to help me push the limits of pumpkin growing and start a new trend? I know time is not on my side.
