11. Get a part time job at your LFS in order to increase their plant 
department, then do the above.
12. Give a presentation on how to set up and care for a **simple** planted 
tank.  Most "fish only" folks would secretly love to be able to keep plants 
other than Java Fern, especially in their breeder setups.  Show them how and 
you can "slip them a mickey/brochure".  That works well too.  :)

It really does work, I've done all of the above and have reached people who 
have become new members.  Most folks were happily surprised to find out that 
there's even an association for planted tank people.  This is also a good 
way of getting folks involved in your local club.

Best,
Phil
