Sue I was going to buy a wooden softball bat but I looked on line and almost fell over.
They want over a hundred dollars for a darn ball bat.
So scrap wood it was.

I was worried about having to add water I didn't want to.
Somehow I felt it would dilute the good organisms.
I only wanted to use the water the cabbage had in it so I took my time to let the water come out.
The handles are where you want to stop at and it dawned on me why when I went to put the weights in.
If you over fill you cant get the weights in because you have to go longways first and then flatten them out.
