Wow. I would use this for my yard and garden in a second. I have three young children and knowing that they would be playing in an organic yard makes me very happy. I want the best for my children and this seems like the best. Good job essnicksic. I want to use your services. Do you have people in CA? I hope you win because this also seems like a huge money making venture. Have you thought about franchising?
I'm going to be redoing our garden this summer and hopefully going to get the sustainable gardening grants available to us out here... let me know when you're in Santa Monica, we could use your expertise!
This video was very informative. I am against using chemicals in the lawn and was surprised to hear about these great alternatives to having a healthy lawn and garden. Thank you and good luck!!!
I found this video to be very informative. I am against using chemicals in my yard and was happy to learn of this healthy alternative that works!!! Good luck!!
This is great! It would be such a piece of mind knowing that the yard would be safer for my two daughters to play in.....I will definitely spread the word! Good Luck!
I so appreciate what you're doing. Kudos. One of the worst experiences of my life was when I was out walking my newborn son in my own back yard. Out of nowhere came a cloud of chemicals from our neighbors lawn treatment service. I was panicked and of course the treatment company told me no harm was done to my son. Now, I sign petitions to stop pesticide use anywhere near my home. I don't have the best lawn...but if we had Organic Garden Company, I'm sure I would. Keep up the good work!
Power to the Microbes! and of course, you too Suzy!
Good Luck Susie. Much success to you on your Organic Venture! Go OGCo
i promote organic gardens!! Best of Luck Suzy!!
Nice to see the simple cures we have for living generatively with the earth...keep up the good work suzy!
love how the video turned out! the "experience" of organic garden company and the information is wonderful!
The video made me want to see more of her customers' yards. There is something reassuring about an environmentally friendly yard. Aren't we exposed to enough chemicals we don't know about? I'll be using this stuff when it is available in my area.
Good Luck Suzy.Kudos for your efforts.
AWSOME WISH U THE BEST
good news!!! I don't have to worry about my grandkids & pets playing in my yard.
spread the word so that everyone's yard is safe...
I would love to integrate your product to restore any kind of life into my garden. I have tried many organic products and have been unsuccessful. I am looking forward to the Organic Garden Company getting their product out there so I can see the results for myself! What a great product! Best of luck!
I would love to see my garden restored to life using this unique product. I have tried many organic products and have been unsuccessful! I look forward to seeing the Organic Garden Company get their product out there so I can see the results for myself!
Just beginning to dabble in organic gardening and this was a big help. Good to know someone is doing what needs to be done! Do you ship the tea? I'd be very interested to try some. Best of luck!
very impressive - thanks for caring!
we can't wait to use this in our yard this summer
go chicago!
I found this extremely inspiring, I only wish I had more information at the tip of my fingers!!! Thank You!
How simple this can be!!
Kudos to this informed company!
suzy: neat video. thanks for the info!
I found the the information here very livable and simple.
I look forward to much more information to easily apply to my daily life! Over and over we are overwhlmed with what we need to do do to make our plane t a better and safer pace to live.....all the while they give all of us dimwits no direction! Kudos to this well informed company!
Great work. We need soooooo many more of you. I will spread the work or your work.
I love this! It truly deserves to win! Lara
I have twins that will be crawling around this summer, and three dogs that love to play in the yard. The logic that this story teaches, gives me a strong sense of security with a n organic yard. Plus the fact that my father-In-Law loves to use my yard as our "family garden" has given him hope to have success this year. I want to thank essnicksic for her ensightfulness and help.
We just built raised garden beds, and I am excited (and could use the extra help) about gardening in AZ! Not only do we eat organic food, my 2 year old son will grow up learning to eat and grow food healthfully! Thanks for your passion.......We appreciate you and your product!
Way ta go Suz Good Luck
Definitely the way to garden!
It is so nice to know that you do not have to use synthetics to keep a healthy garden. I have three young kids & the thought of them playing in those chemicals is a bit scary. I use the compost tea & noticed a healthier more plush lawn..
Keep it up!! If given the option, I bet you'll find most people will choose natural applications over chemical any day...
Thanks
Way To Go, Suzy-Q -You deserve grant!!
Looks awesome. Good luck.
love seeing how this is growing!
I'm all for natural/organic gardening! It's hard to stomach the thought of eating things grown with chemicals. The plants looks gorgeous! Keep up the good work.
We have been using an organic lawn service for 3 years now and we have the best, most lush grass on our block.
I am going to dump the Miracle Grow and start using Bio-Tea. I may also get some for a friend in Michigan who has a great container garden but must by Miracle Grow in 55 gallon drums. Good luck essnicksic with your new venture.
Nice work Suzy....impressive. Go green and good luck.
Great Suzy! Thanks for doing something wonderful for the world.
This is awesome. We live near a beautiful reservoir that is being damaged by chemicals used on lawns. They warn people to rinse off after swimming and my small children certainly end up with a mouthful of water when they swim. Frightening! If everyone goes natural, we won't have to worry about harming our lakes (or our kids).
Suzy, I'm glad that there are people like you and businesses like yours out there that help the Earth run even a little bit cleaner. Keep up the good work. We need more people like you.
So helpful for my amateur efforts!
Great job Suzy! Green is the way to go!~Pam
Hi Suzy:
Great video - hope you win -you definitely deserve it.
This is awesome. When are you opening a New York branch?
Great job! It's so great to have a natural garden and lawn. It is reassuring to know that my kids can play in our yard without the fear of ingesting harsh pesticides and chemicals in fertilizers. Thanks!
Great Video Suzy. Very Informative.
Susie: this is awesome! Good luck in the contest. All the best. dennis piper
Great info!!! Good Luck!
You tell us about techniques that the average gardener either does not know about or engage in. I think it starts people thinking about ways of making our environment healthier, greeener, and safer, and are doable. Your business approaches gardens with elegant simplicity, using products that are safe for the environment and easily accessable. It makes us all think responsibly.
Great work - Best of luck
Great job on the video, very impressive and informative. I wish you the best of luck on your business journey. Keepin it green is whats its all about. Go get em!
Well done, Suzy. It gave me a knew appreciation for worms!
Great stuff.
Great video and products. Looks like I need to "join the GREEN side"!!!
FANTASTIC! I so need this for my garden and yard! This video was so informative and inspiring! I look forward to seeing your products in Utah! I am off to count worms now!!! THANK YOU! PEACE!
This business is exactly what we need in my community in Ohio. Most lawncare services (picture big truck arriving unbidden in the neighborhood, driven by grinning simpleton, with a gaping hole in place of his nose and evidence of severe neurological damage, who offers to spray your garden with cyanide) are rarely conducive to the health of the soil, groundwater, etc. By contrast, Organic Gardening, showcased in this video, offers an environmentally-friendly package that is truly inspiring.
Go Ali!! Uncle Steve
Great info and good advice. Good luck in your venture!
This is GREAT! Thanks to Annie for sending me the link.
My daughter's feet became very irritated after playing in my sister's chemically treated lawn. This is the way to go! I know you can make this work. Good luck!
Great Work Suz.
Great!
Good Luck Aunt Suz!
Great Video! Super Job!
keep up the good work
keep up the good work
way to go!! keep up the great work!!
I never knew! Power to microbes is right. I love the idea of organic gardening. I wish you lived in Las Vegas. So you sell this "tea" online? I must have some. Worms rock and so do you
My dogs Owen and Oscar would love you. Please send us the tea.

My darling, charming,quiet and brilliant kids Danny and Conor will have a half a chance to blossom into darling, charming, quiet and brilliant adults with the help of innovators like you. God Bless you and God Bless the worms!
I have a fabulous lawn courtesy of synthetic products. I've often wondered about organic, non-toxic products. Now I know! Please help! I want organic compost tea! and those worms!
I love worms
you're doing God's work. Keep it up. I too love worms
We need you to come to our house in Chicago. this is wonderful news.
Good work Suzy! I need this for my lawn.
Take Care of my garden Please!
Your company is on the cutting edge of the future approach to lawn and garden care. Like renewable energy and zero-emission vehicles, organic lawn and garden care must be supported without reserve and post-haste! Well done!
your video was both useful and inspiring, we have to be careful about any chemicals we use in and outside the house because the run off goes into a field where cattle graze. best of luck with your product.
Yay Suzy!
Good Luck Suzy
wishing you the best!
Hey miss natural, great seeing you last night. Good luck!

Best of luck Suzy

Finalist story from essnicksic:
A few years ago while at the Chicago’s Flower and Garden Show, I attended a seminar about microbes. Jeff Lowenfels was speaking about an all-organic way to restore life to soil and, because an environmentally sustainable lifestyle has always been important to me, I knew the subject would definitely grab me.
Compost tea is the best organic alternative to synthetic chemical fertilizers. It contains an extremely diverse set of microorganisms – up to 30,000 different types – and when applied to your soil they literally restore life to it. Compared to synthetic fertilizers when tend to be salt-based and behave as plant steroids, the compost tea works with the natural ecology to produce healthy and luscious plants.
I got home that night and researched compost tea. I read every article I could find and they were all saying the same thing: this stuff is great for your soil and it really does work. After researching the best companies, becoming a distributor of fresh Alaskan humisoil sounded like a fantastic idea. I bought myself a brewer and went right to work.
After only a few applications, I noticed my tomatoes growing bigger and the grass outside my building was looking a lot healthier. My landlord even commented to me on how he was surprised that my dogs hadn’t ruined the front lawn. With its microbial life restored, the grass seemed much more capable of restoring itself. My indoor plants were thriving, too, and I knew this was a product that everyone needed to know about.
At the time, I worked for a landscape company based out of the Chicago suburbs and decided I would tell my boss about this product. He was not as enthusiastic as I thought he’d be, but he did decide to bottle and sell the tea. I was completely in charge of this aspect of the company, but still didn’t quite feel like I was doing everything I could possibly do to get the word out about the compost tea.
It didn’t take long for me to leave that landscape company to start my own: Organic Garden Company. It’s still a small business, but we’re gradually expanding and doing everything we can to spread the word about compost tea and all-natural lawn care and creating beautiful yards on the way!
I'm planning to purchase a CNG (compressed natural gas/gasoline hybrid) truck and a scooter for appointments around town. I've also done research on wind and solar power. My goal is to be off the grid and lower my carbon imprint.
An elderly gentlemen from score approached me and told me most business fail because they don't ask for enough money. After a year in business, I can see how this is true. Taking advantage of SCORE has been invaluable to the start up of my company. My counselor has already saved me from one costly mistake. He advised me on my business plan and cash flow chart which are essential and refined my marketing strategy. Where else can you get free advise from a successful business person.
This is great good luck.
