Crazy idea - you may find useful.
« on: June 28, 2012, 12:53 »
I have a raised bed 4' wide and 12' long.  I have access to both ends but only one side, consequently it's a bit of a bother planting seeds, untill:

I found a bit of assymentrical angle ally (a bit of old greenhouse).  Cleared off most of the corrosion and used this to form a groove in the soil, I then set the angle ally on a flat surface and placed in there beetroot seeds spacing them out in comfort.

Carefully carrying the angle to the groove in the raised bed I carefully tipped the seeds in the pre-formed groove and sweeping the angle over I covered the seeds.

An idea for those a bit unsteady on their pins.



Cheers,     Tony.

Good idea - but I'd just wobble the metal and all the seeds would fall out anyway!
I try to take one day at a time, but sometimes several days all attack me at once...

Is this a crazy, pointless idea?
