Thanks Jeff- It's over $400 with the pump and scoop and recipes and
instuctions and it's still the least expensive way to get lots of
activity that is vital in your soil. Why don't I send you a scoop
that measures the right amount of compost and slides it into the
chamber no fuss, no mess, no miss. Seaneen likes hers a lot.. Bob
