VISUAL SITE EVALUATIONS

WITH A CAMERA

A new service being offered by Glacial Ginseng Company is a visual site evaluation from pictures taken with a camera.   A question that I am being asked is "do I have a good site for growing ginseng?" one picture is worth a thousand words, and so what I am proposing to do is to have you go to your woods and starting in the southwest corner, walk towards the northeast corner, at about 1:00 in the afternoon. 

Take pictures to your left and to your right as you walk.  The number of pictures is kind of up to you and depends on how big a piece of land you are working with, shoot up the rest of the film that is in your camera, a half a dozen good pictures on a ten acre woods should give me an idea of what your site is like.  Adjust the number of pictures by the size of your woods.   Have someone stand about 20 yards away and try to get the bottom of their feet just nicely in the picture.  Take some pictures of some of the places that you think ginseng might do well in and I will evaluate those. 

  After evaluation of your pictures and judging from the shade, etc. I will promptly mail you a report that will have my suggestions as to the light requirements and other improvements that you might do to your site, that would improve your chances for successfully growing ginseng, (of course, I will also tell you if your site is not suitable for ginseng growing).

Enclose a check or money order for $29.95 (US) made out to Glacial Ginseng Co.  I will send you a personally written report of my evaluation of your site, along with a copy of my book, "Ginseng Grower's Guide" a $9.95 value.

Seed Distributor Opportunities

If you are interested in becoming a seed distributor, there are some outstanding opportunities to buy ginseng seeds early this year.  I will be going to the farm gates to make the purchase of the seeds, I will be bringing the seeds back with me and placing them back into stratifying pits so that they will be available for immediate shipment for this fall's planting.  If I am in a position to make some substantial purchases, it could very easily create a rise in prices for this fall's market.  This would be an excellent opportunity for potential seed distributors to realize a reasonable profit on a short term venture.  For a prospectus on seed distributorship's, please E-Mail me.

A book mark on our web site www.ginseng-seed.com might be a thought.  It is the object of the site to be a living page.  As the seasons change the page will change too.
