All this just so you can have some pretty flowers around your house!! Might work OK for harvesting onions, too. http://www.youtube.com/embed/wZ5MAr7d-5Y?rel=0" rel="nofollow - |

Wow that was interesting, thanks for sharing. Few things that caught the eye. When watching parts of the washing, reminds me of gold rush with the big wash plants. There sure is a lot of electric and hyd motors turning conveyers in the process. It was interesting the water spraying the inside of tracks, must be to stop mud from sticking. Impressive big equipment |

| I think the soil there is pretty sandy as that part of Netherlands is the polder area, which is the land reclaimed from the sea, behind the dikes. It's very flat land. I have some friends that farm in the same area. They raise flowers that they ship out daily to funeral homes all over the world. They are also tractor collectors. |
