Homemade Garden Planter
 ✖  |
I'm 70 years old and have a garden that's 75 ft. long. To make the work easier I came up with this simple tool for planting peas, corn, beans and other small seeds without having to bend over. I use a length of 1/2-in. dia. pvc pipe, with a small 4-in. dia. plastic funnel on top, to drop seeds through. The funnel fits into the swollen end of the pipe. I just place the pipe into the furrow and drop the seeds 1 1/2 in. apart. In no time at all all the seeds are planted. (Sam A. Miller, 276 Plaint Lane, Blackville, S. C. 29817 ph 803 284-4251)
