Re: Pro Seed Mix by the bale

Yes, that's it, black plastic.  Man, it is heavy.  The clerk
was a hefty muscular young man and he could hardly
lift it.  Everything you guys are telling me makes me feel
better - much less nervous.  I can relate to the mess on
the garage floor.  I'm going to hunt for the big rubber maid
containers.  I hope they have lids? I bought two of the bales
because I am so tired of trying to find the mix.
Boyd wrestled the bales out of the car into the cart and
down to the basement for me.  What a man!!  :-)

Thanks
