Well, I just got off the phone with Jerry Robinson of Southern Excellence and he answered some of the questions I brought up in this discussion.
The gray "mush" that remains in the bucket is naturally occuring clay. If the bucket has been in the water for a month or more, all of the goodies have already leached out.
He said that by next year, the floatation inside the bucket would be encapsulated, allowing one to remove the lid and dump out the residual clay so that transportation wouldn't be so messy.
Another small problem he's close to resolving is camoflauging the bucket for folks who don't want to see them. Sounds like an appropriately sized plastic bag and rubber band is in the works and should be available shortly for a small additional cost.
SE also now has a website:
Southern Excellence for those who want to take a closer look.
As these products continue to improve, everybody benefits.
