New product -- Backyard Compost Tea Brewer

SoilSoup Introduces Compost Tea Brewer
for Backyard Gardens 

Seattle, WA - February 18, 2002 -- Home gardeners now can brew the same
concentrated, highly nutritious compost tea organic farmers are brewing.
Seattle based SoilSoup, Inc. is introducing a 6.5 gallon compost tea
brewing system suitable for lawns, backyard gardens and small organic
farms.

This system is the same aerobic brewing process used in SoilSoup's 1,000
gallon system it sells to large agricultural businesses and is the only
consumer version of its type in the world. 

The chemical-free product enriches the soil, naturally combats such
diseases as tomato blight, squash and grape mildews and black spot on
roses, provides growth enhancements and helps the soil retain moisture. 

According to founder Jerry Erickson, "Applying SoilSoup to a lawn or
garden has the same effect as spreading 3" of good compost - but without
the hard work of making and spreading traditional compost."

The 6.5 gallon SoilSoupT Compost Brewing System Bucket, which retails
for $329, comes with an easy to carry handle and a re-usable lid with an
extendable pouring spout. 

The system includes everything you need to start brewing, including the
SoilSoup Bio-BlenderTM, compost tea bag, five pounds of worm compost, a
half gallon of SoilSoup Nutrient Solution (enough to make 65 gallons of
finished tea) and a Users Manual which explains it all. 

The backyard garden SoilSoup brewing system was developed after garden
centers began experiencing almost overnight success selling gallons of
SoilSoup themselves.  Late last season garden centers the northwest
began brewing and selling SoilSoup.  Gardeners lined up early with empty
milk jugs to fill up with a gallon of SoilSoup.  
One of the first garden centers to brew and sell the compost tea is
Bainbridge Gardens, near Seattle, WA.

 "This new cutting edge technology is making it possible to enjoy the
benefits of compost without the space and weight requirements," says
manager Ann Lovejoy. "SoilSoup is the greatest invention since compost.
"

Lovejoy, a nationally acclaimed "guru of organic gardening," author,
speaker and newspaper columnist predicts that "within 5 years there will
be a SoilSoup Compost Brewer in every nursery and every garage."

And she may just be right on the money.  Garden centers have been
calling SoilSoup founders from as far away as Nebraska wanting to know
how they can get started brewing their own SoilSoup.  "This type of
success made us aware that the home gardener would want a blender of
their own," Erickson says.	

Gardening is big business.  The National Gardening Association estimates
that 2 out of 3 Americans garden, spending more than $50 billion on
garden products they use themselves and on services they hire.  

According to the Organic Trade Association, retail sales of organic
products were projected to hit $9.3 billion in 2001. By 2005, sales are
expected to reach nearly $20 billion.

To roll out the product in the Seattle area, SoilSoup will be hosting
"Compost Tea Parties" at a dozen nurseries beginning March 2 through the
April at garden centers in the Puget Sound region.  SoilSoup founders
will hold workshops and demonstrations and offer free compost tea for
all garden center guests.
