Morning Steph, Thanks for your response. I guess the 11 litre aluminium machine may suit our exploratory phase. We do however require more information/ advice about the process (in addition to growing the plants consistently etc). Do you have someone who could provide this kind of advice on a professional bias? Thanks again, Ahmed Ps: I am exploring this for my wife who is interested in essential oils.
