Claim 18:
19. A dry granular material transfer method comprising:
(i) providing a dry granular material transfer system comprising:
(a) a base platform;
(b) a conveyor subsystem mounted upon said base platform, having an angular orientation from low to high, adapted to move granular material placed on a lower portion to a higher portion, while separating clumped material and allowing rocks and debris to fall away, and to spread the granular material in a thin layer for ejection at the highest level;
(c) a containment subsystem mounted upon said base platform, adapted to receive and contain the granular material ejected from said conveyor subsystem;
(d) a portioning subsystem mounted upon said base platform, having a turntable with a plurality of blow-through chambers, and having an air inflow tube and air-material outflow tube, adapted to receive the granular material from said containment subsystem into said blow-through chambers and to rotate said blow-through chambers into alignment with said air inflow tube and air-material outflow tube, to blow the granular material through said blow-through chambers, said air-material outflow tube, and an attached transfer hose;
(e) an air subsystem adapted to supply compressed air; and
(f) a control subsystem adapted to control operation of said conveyor subsystem, said portioning subsystem, and said air subsystem;

(ii) activating said dry granular material transfer system;
(iii) supplying the granular material on the lower portion of said conveyor subsystem; and
(iv) transferring and distributing the granular material through said transfer hose.
