So through my sustainability studies at Texas State University, master’s program, I’ve been recruited to help finish some research that will be published; survey marketing project that is reviewing “the marketability of a seaweed-based compost as a “boutique” compost. The seaweed is an invasive species on the Gulf Coast. ” We need 250 more surveys of gardeners who just look at samples of the compost. We need 10 people to actually try gardening with the compost & do interviews later. Anyone interested in taking a seaweed survey for your garden?  I am in the Central Texas area doing this research. Please sign up on my site if you are interested in participating in this study.

Although our goal is to promote American sustainability we can learn from other countries.  Soren from Denmark invited me to become a part of something outstanding through Care2.com.
