New this season! Washed and spun-dry salad greens!

Posted on June 5th, 2018 by Mason Taggart

This is our rudimentary washing station... we're using a water trough with PVC piping and an air compressor to create a gentle yet steady flow of air bubbles so the greens get a nice soak and bubble bath (sans soap, of course).  After their bath, they head into an old washing machine re-purposed with a new salad-spinner container made from a Rubbermaid trash can to spin-dry the greens.  Please rest assured that the water trough and trash can are brand new and have only been, and will only be, used for this purpose. ;)  Last week was our first week trying it out and we thought it worked great!  We hope that this will help our salad greens and lettuces last longer in your fridge for your eating pleasure throughout the week.
