New Tinker Toy
Every winter I spend a lot of time mixing up soil for the next potting season. I chore that I don't really relish. Especially the mixing of the soil. Sifting the soil is bad enough but the mixing is back breaking.
Found me a new toy to do the job for me. An electric cement mixer Now I Am almost looking forward to winter so I can use it.
When all the kids are grown and gone things do get a bit tougher. At one time I could just give them a few bucks and all my soil was sifted, mixed and packaged while I drank coffee and read my bonsai books. Those days are long gone though.
The mixer, however, will be cheaper than the kids in the long run. In the short run also.
