Hey,Heres something I have been doing for a few years that I think will help out a few people.
Its a method used for mixxing concrete with a tarp or 6mil.Poly.
this works really good for soil too.
I know you med folks could have pain that makes mixxing your soil hard so I hope this helps out

a nice thick tarp is better than plastic for a number of reasons. but great link, ive mixed soil like that many times.

Yeah, good idea.
Just think of reusing the palstic after work.
With soil, no need to trash it.

The device called the 'Odjob Concrete Mixer' does an outstanding job. The downside is that you can only mix 5 gallons at a time so it does have limitations. If the 5 gallon limit isn't a problem then this is a good tool to own and not just for mixing soils. Fertilizer & mineral mixes are good uses as well.

I bought one from Amazon.com and with everything it came to around $35.00
