NOTICE 

Sand, Soil, Perlite, and Turface should not go down the root washing room sink drain in large quantities. These materials WILL clog the drain-catch below the sink. 

Bins and buckets located in the root washing room or provided by your lab can be used to soak roots which will help remove most of the attached soil before using the root washing sink. Talk with your greenhouse manager to learn more about processing roots.  

Compost bins should be taken out at the end of the day. Do not overfill compost bins with heavy soil/sand. 

Sweep and tidy up the root washing room when you are done with your reservation.
