damn straight i did.

spent the last half hour "cleaning"

1 root had to be cut it was searching prob 4 foot+
aside from that i got the whole lot all the fine feeders.

root mass is like 6inch deep prob 8inch wide and bout 2 foot long

she is soaking in a tub with a little seasol as i write this.

will let it sit overnight and stop by the big B store on the way home from work 2morro and find a suitable trough to grow it on in.

by far the best piece of stock i've collected to date... so excited for the future of this little one.
