The lab is a wonderful place to work when you're addicted to MGs. This is the roller mill that turns 365 days a year, mixing solutions and hopefully soon, breaking down MG seedcoats. Frank looked into breaking down the seedcoats with iodine, and now I am looking into breaking them down by tumbling them. The mill is like a giant rock tumbler. With the right polishing media I should be able to treat the seedcoats for faster germination.
