would you be willing to pay $ 5.00 for a 20-25 lb bag of certified organic fertilizer and would you pay shipp

would you pay shipping cost ? for a 25 lb bag of 100% organic speciality worm castings ? I'm trying to figure out a way to sell thousands of bags of fresh castings. Any Ideas ?

1. No. "Organic" fertilizer offers no advantages over any other kind. All that counts is that it contains nutrients that the plants like.
2. If i needed it maybe i would. As a marketer of your product you need to show your potential buyers why they need your product. Just because something is organic, doesnt mean people will flock to it. You need to show why your product is an innovative solution to their gardening problems. Good Luck!
3. Yes, I would, that is dirt cheap. If I was going to get some I would buy it in bulk and save on delivery cost. Maybe you could also sell in one ton lots by small truck or utility.
4. Yup, most likely if I didn't have some GRAND wormies of my own that pretty much cover casings for me. Recently, in our local "farm" store I saw a 1lb bag of casings for $8, so yeah I would say yours would be a deal. Now, is it "certified organic" really, because if its not don't say it, because you know what it doesn't matter because worm casting are AWESOME any way they are, and contrary to prior responses IT DOES MAKE A DIFFERENCE, worm castings are one of the BEST fertilizers out there. But I suppose you can't convince everyone. But anyway I think if you were to as mentioned "market it" telling people the benefits etc. (which alot of people have no clue!!) then I would say you have your self a pretty good business going. And yeah I would pay shipping if it was reasonable----maybe you could make a deal with a delivery company and charge x amount or just include it in the cost. My question... where oh where are you getting tons of the stuff??? in a year I'm lucky if I get 50lbs. LOL
