Thanks for the feedback, I am using a Omega 8005. I owned a juiceman in the past, but did not like the amount of work to clean it each time. The breakdown and cleaning of this unit is fast and easy. I really like it in comparison. On the question of growing, I have not seriously considered that yet. I purchased my first wheat grass from a local COOP called Ozark Natural Foods. They have a grower there that is very particular and dedicated to his craft. I was impressed by him, and encouraged to think about growing my own in the future. I am going to work first on getting mind and body to a better place. I think the key is green.
