Bike Powered Root Washer v 2.0

As a small company (4 full-time herbalists) that prides itself on maintaining a 30 year old production process steeped in intention and integrity, we were at a loss regarding how to address our current growth spurt and it's effect on our ability to continue producing professional-grade, fresh-plant herb extracts on the scale of our client's demands.
