One of the greenhouses around here uses an electric cement mixer to make
their planting mix. I think it's a great idea and also plan to do so in the
future. I especially like where you can tilt the drum to empty out the
contents in a wheelbarrow or other container. I've also heard that Lowes
carries a cement mixer that you just roll for $25. That might be another
option or even a plastic drum...
