A lot of folks are asking about the automatic back yard food pump idea and how to implement it in their location.  

Beau suggested we run a series of online sessions so people who want to build their own automatic back yard food pump would be able to learn with Paul's personal guidance and have enough support to be assured of success.    

What do you guys think would be good to include in these classes?  

How manny sessions?

Over what time period?

What would you feel good about paying for one on one gardening coaching from Paul and other experts?



Has anybody participated in a program like this in the past?  

What did you like?  What could have been done better?

After a lot of back and forth with Beau, he suggested that we limit it to 8 people.  And intimate group to talk about this stuff.  He also suggested a price of $1500.  I'm kinda feeling like since this will be our first try, we should probably set the price super low.  Maybe $400.

I think there will be six sessions.  Each about 1 to 2 hours long.  Each will start with 15 minutes of formal stuff, followed by some Q&A followed by people asking questions about their specific situation.  Maybe with pics and stuff.  

So this is kinda a hybrid between a class and a private consultation.  With some gentle formatting.  

I think.

this is new to me.
