That's exactly what we used at Iowa State to mix the
basic potting soil mix for the botany greenhouse. Good
garden loam + sand + perlite, shoveled into a small
batch mixer, then tipped into metal garbage cans with
steam lines in place for sterilization. It was really
quite an efficient system.
Go fer it, Catharine!
