What's a good source for a heavy-duty plastic apple picking bin? It should 
nest one way and stack full the other way. It should be vented to drain 
water. Ideally, it will be a good price. 
Thanks!

I have no videos to show, however we and other operations I have seen scrub 
our fruit, I use a small three brush rotary scrubber, larger operations use 
multi-brush washers  prior to grinding. The main idea is to be able to clean 
the fruit as quickly as it can be ground and pressed. Using a Goodnature X6 
this is about 15-18 minutes per load. Needless to say but in my opinion you 
do not want to be grinding and pressing grassy, twiggy an likely dirty 
fruit.

Apple do not grow true.  Plant from seed and you have no idea what the 
result will be.  It may be great... or it may not.  The one fairly sure 
thing is that it will probably not match the tree that it came from.
