Interesting, would love to see a video on it. Are you going to use that idea Andy?

Front Range, Colorado, where the winds are finally under 40 mph and I might just get some sleep tonight! Got some quick planting in this am before the hurricane winds drove us inside.

I saw a neat idea at the NOFA-NY winter conference for rinsing/washing
greens. It was a stock tank with a Jacuzzi pump for circulating and
agitating the water. The grower would dump spinach in and scoop it out
after it bounced around for a minute or so.

Great question we too are adding a new area in particular a greens washing
station. We are thinking of using an old washing machine as the big spinner
we bought is finally falling into pieces. Also we wash a lot of buckets for
flowers and do a lot of roots, carrots and beets. I have seen that UW
worksheet but would love advice and any other publications you all know
about.

Thanks,
Don
