I spoke with the ceo of the company last weekend. He is interested in doing some research on his product (its not GSE) to see if it would help us gardeners. Other than for myself I don't know who to recommend. He
would prepare a special form of it for gardeners to test.
I'm always open to new ideas and would be glad to test for the gentleman on a controlled batch. Should be interesting in the GA heat and humidity. If interested send a PM for my address.
