Lynton:
I too had problems with wheatgrass in the Champion. The only way I could
make it work was to cut the leaves into half-inch sections and insert
them in the machine after making a start with some carrots. Then some
more carrots to finish it off. Have you tried cutting grass this way? I
felt that it would have been easier to harvest it with a mower ;)
Thanks for the info, but I've found a manual stainless steel wheatgrass
juicer that I'm going to order, costs $90 plus delivery. Then (much)
later I will probably get an Omega 8000 which works in much the same way
as Green Power, but it's more powerful apparently.
