I just reconfigured my indoor system running two aquariums, one 20 and one 55 gallon. I hope to be feeding two grow beds here in the near future. I have never owned fish so I need to go at this new type of gardening slowly.

I wasnt thinking of people many miles away, thanks for the thought. This is why my brain isnt able to think of all the factors that goes into planning a tour. Something definitely has to happen in Phoenix, Im confident Local Roots can do something great down there along with your drinks and prizes. I guess we now need to gather some tour willing people to set a date for a tour maybe in March?

It wass nice to meet David and Mark at Dr. Brooks meeting last night. Great turn out !  The meeting for Jan. 11th sounds very informative. Count me in on a tour in Phoenix or Tucson as I am a sponge for ideas right now !

David Sch.

this tour is in the Phoenix area?

I will drive up for the tour. So, I am in favor of an hour at each spot. Maybe a schedule of 6 or 7 in a day. Just a thought.

I have gathered about 13 people that want to be part of an AP tour, I now need some suggestions on how to plan for one or maybe its better to do several. Ive seen my share so I think it would work best if we focus on one at a time.

My salesman from NY called me back today with the freight quote: $2,800. He thought it was crazy too as he referred me to a company in Utah called U-Lite that makes the same product. They have material in the area at a concrete plant. It turns out that this material is used as part of the mix for lightweight concrete! Best I have seen so far is $150 for a 1.5 cubic yard "bag".

Meanwhile, bought 400 pounds of 1/2" - 1" natural river rock (not as sharp as crushed) from Pioneer for $7.17....

I think you may be able to find the expanded shale a bit closer to you
