First & foremost, I hate shipping small quantities & single bottles of chemicals all over North America. For the slim margins it really isn't worth the effort.

Until this past spring I often supplied the various "Grower-Supply-Dot-Com" folks with whole cases so that they could repackage, invoice & ship the stuff. No one has ever found it rewarding or profitable enough to stick with it. For good reason too. Its a lot of time to invest considering you won't gross more than a few hundred a week.

This past March I took orders for 4 weeks & then shipped a bunch of Merit all in one day. It was the least bothersome way to do it.

Since no one seems interested in running an online store & I really hate seeing growers getting hosed....is there interest in doing this again?

I think I need another bottle.....

OK...we've got all winter to decide what should be offered.

My early thoughts:

Two ounce bottles of Merit 75WP
One pint bottles of Eage 20EW

2.5 gallon jugs are a PITA to ship so Daconil is probably out. Besides, it's an Agency product so we're all charging the same price. Why incure shipping?

Other suggestions are welcome.

OK...I've started a list of stuff that is relatively easy to ship. I'll contact Ken to make sure he's OK with posting it here on BP once we have the wrinkles all ironed out.

Steve, could I e-mail you next month after everything slows down. And put a game plan together to take care of all the bug & fungus with in a mile of my house. After 2 years of not getting a pumpkin out of the patch, I can now see the light.

Thanks
