Was just wondering what you've been doing with all that honey for the past four years? Obviously if you could sell retail you'd see the highest profit margin. Another possibility would be to offer it to specialty stores and niche markets if you have the bottling capabilities. You can have labels made for each customer so they could offer it as their own "brand" Anytime You can be the one who is adding the value to the product, your profit margin will go up. As far as bulk selling,do a little research, join an association or state organization. The 2 buyers listed in ABJ are Leighton's Honey in Florida (863) 422-1773 and Pure Sweet Honey Farm (608)845-9601. There were 9 ads in American Bee Journal in the upcoming July issue advertising bulk honey for sale. There was also a number if you want to take out an ad. It's 888-922-1293. Hope this might be of some help to you

Hi Lisa, I actually did a bit of research myself for both of your questions and found that a lot of people put 2 TBLS. of castings in a new planting hole and that coffee grounds and organic compost, including dried leaves, are good for blueberries. So in addition to buying a bag of worm castings since I won't have enough as soon as I'll need it, I also made a garbage can composter for things I don't put in my worm bin, based on these plans found at CompostJunkie.com. Instead of aluminum pipes, I used PVC and it works great so far and will produce useable compost quickly. Mine isn't wrapped in anything and I didn't use the bolts after all because the holes I made in the top and bottom for the PVC pipes are a very snug fit and help keep the lid on and to roll the bin (extending about 5" above the lid)--I didn't have enough scraps to fill it immediately and didn't want to have to take the bolts off every time I add to the bin. :) And I set it up on blocks with a cut gallon jug fitted snuggly under it to catch the leachate. So if you have a drill and way to cut the pipe and threaded rod as needed, you should be able to do that easily as well. I do a lot of container gardening too and was considering SWCs, but thanks to the responses here, I think I'll pass on that option; especially since I recently installed an irrigation system which will help an awful lot when it comes to watering. So as always, thank you all for sharing your experience and great ideas! BB in FL

I had a Complete Hysterectomy at 33 yrs old. Was on HRT- Premarin until just 3 yrs ago. I felt GREAT !!!! Yes, a family history of cancer and heart issues. Still felt great and no problems until >>> I flew long distance flight and got DVT- PE. Now Doc's won't give me anything! Crap! I felt so good on them. No herbal stuff helps, they finally tried Paxil on me. Worked for a while but then I gained 55 lbs. in the snap of my fingers and CANNOT lose it. I am just giving up....I want my Uterus BACK a.s.a.p. !!!
