Hey bro, don't worry about all of the snarkaristas around who want to get all in the guts of your project and pick it apart while still developing. I totally get the point of your post and appreciate your brazen honesty and transparency (where appropriate, naturally.)

I'm in your corner (as a fellow noob) and can't wait to see what you're up to. Check out my info and let me know if you think I can help out at all.

(As a side note, I almost spent last summer helping with the marketing of a Mycorrhizal innoculant called Mykos at http://xtreme-gardening.com That stuff blows my mind! )
