COMPOST IDEA - GOOD?
I've come up with a potential business idea to compost grass clippings and
leaves, using disposable plastic bags as the composting containers, rather than composting stations. The idea is to add a (secret) formula to compostable waste and turn it into a useful garden material over several weeks of passive exterior storage, without the exertion of rotating or emptying storage bins. I think this approach would appeal to the un-diehard gardener. Feel free to contact me at . I will also monitor this ng for a while. |

You could add a nitrogen source to speed up composting, that works pretty well. Maybe urea, then you could give instructions "just p*** on it. Would it sell? Maybe, but I know I would never use something where I didn't what was added to it. Dave http://members.tripod.com/~VideoDave |

The message
from "Lucy & Howard Albert" contains these words: I've come up with a potential business idea to compost grass clippings and leaves, using disposable plastic bags as the composting containers, rather than composting stations.

Bad. Gardeners have been doing that ever since the plastic bag was invented. What's more the "secret formula" isn't secret, and nobody can produce it cheaper than we. Janet. |

Your target market is people who believe in magic, and have a poor understanding of what compost is, and how it happens. Now that's not to say you couldn't make a lot of money with your idea. You just need to be aware that your target consumer isn't going to be someone found at a garden center in the middle of the week, or someone who reads this newsgroup. Your target is more likely to be someone who buys marigolds at the supermarket in September. I may buy chicken at KFC with their secret blend of 11 herbs and spices, but if they told me that there were secret ingredient in the cole slaw, I'd pass. The secret isn't so much what the herbs and spices are, but in what proportions they're used, but secret ingredients in the cole slaw is just plain scary. -- Warren H. ========== Disclaimer: My views reflect those of myself, and not my employer, my friends, nor (as she often tells me) my wife.
