Anyone switch from Solar method to cement mixer and have same results or did you have more refusals? I understand as long as nothing is burned it should be fine, but obviously way easier to burn with cement mixer and torch even with a laser thermometer.

If you were successful using the solar method, and it is still early enough in the year to do it again, why do you want to change?

Just for time and easier to do volume.

Never had a problem using cement mixer and propane. Pre sift your dirt be sure it’s dry.

We don't have many options here for renting stuff, and for the price of the harbor freight ones id rather know what has been in it as far as odors go.

The sun is free. I sift a tarp full of dirt and let the sun dry it. Right now works great. Then I put it in a black tub and let the sun cook it. I put a piece of scrap glass on top of it. It is done in a day. If I cannot be ther I just leave it a couple days and mix it when I get home at might. It does the work for me while I'm away.


Just passin through

Get one of those hand mixing tubs for mortar. Works good and there cheap!
