Erich,

That's great news. It would be helpful to know for sure that it suits our 
horticultural needs-temperature of cook, etc.   How big are the pieces? Is it 
there just loose to be loaded on a truck or can it be bagged and shipped? For use 
in urban gardens it would really have to be bagged. And of course, eventually 
inquiring minds would like to know how much a bag will cost, there at the 
factory. Shipping would have to be arranged, obviously.
