Sears has an adapter for circular bi-metal bits that lets you spin the drill
bit up and away and makes removing the styrofoam fast and easy. It is a two
step process, but I think that with this adapter it would still be faster
than using a Rotozip.

In the past we used a 1 7/8" hole saw on a drill to cut the holes for a 2"
net pot. Recently we purchased a Rotozip saw and have found that it cuts
beautiful holes. The trouble with the hole saw is the time consuming
process of removing the cut-out polystyrene from the saw after each cut.
When you are cutting hundreds of holes, as we do, the time added up. With
the Rotozip saw the piece falls away, the hole sides are smooth and the
sheet is quickly prepared.

Sorry for the delay, look in the various catalogs for Summer Crisp lettuce,
try them all as they may perform differently for you than me.

YESssssssssss!!! lol
>>Your best bet would be to try the summer crisp lettuces that are semi-head
lettuce, part leaf, part head and very tolerant to hot weather.
William...could U give us some specific names of these "halfies" or
mixed head and leaf or is it heaf lettuce???
See, right now Im in a cinch...i have access to highland far
away...increased cost to experiment on aquaponics..or lowland, high
sun...good water... but HOT ...nearby...so the fact that I can grow
good heads (demand is for head lettuce..) is VITAL.. and my choice of
location will be crucial..
If I know the types of "heaf" lettuce that do well, I would ask for
persons to tell me what their experiences were...my market is no
different than Ures I guess...my potential clients need a hard tight
crisp head to pass thru their shredding machines. How was their
experience with these "heaf" types?? Anyone??
I also would like to know....are there any large producers purchasers on
this list? Im seeking markets for indigenous Jamaican, and growing
contracts for herbs, culinary, medicinal, anyone wanna help..? Are there
any "empty" contingencies that I could fill from here for any of U?? In
other words...I have have the sun and the climate...U have the
market..we sit talk...and ahem....get out in em greenhouses...lol.
Anyone??
