    All new equipment with trike or quad and training, from $10,500 to about $14,000. Foot launch for about $7500. I'm getting a very lightly used unit, only about 20 hours on it, with training for under $6K.

    The soil experiment....

    I've been having the unfortunant same problems that FTDude92 is having in this thread. The plants do well, showing signs of recovery from shipping shock and even begin to grow.
