Machines | Our New Homemade Seed Sower ( - And How We Got There!)
videos | at work | information | view | construction
Making your own vegetable seeder/planter shouldn't be so difficult, should it? But picking up very small light seeds, and dropping them at regular intervals, turns out to be more complicated than I'd first thought. They'd get lost, crushed, clumped and stuck -- and that's without trying to accommodate different shapes and sizes.. I found a way of doing it in the end, and I'm happy with the result, but not before my appreciation of all the designers who have preceded me grew enormously. Madeline is one of only a very few organic seed producers in Ireland. She can send seeds through the post, and her skills and commitment in the field are legendary.

Wow!!!Chapeau to you lot.Really like all of your videos. The speed of your output in general is inspirational. Did I hear you right in the greenhouse or boat video, that the construction of your home was achieved in 2 weeks?Well keep up the good work, being able to teach is such a gift for us all.Thanks

Amazing. Very cool. Not perfect for every situation, but for your planting goals a great solution.
To grow more with less, review John Jeavons BioIntensive system, Elliot Colemans Intensive system with a commercial focus, Curtis Stone for his Urban Farmer approach to Elliot Coleman and John Jeavons work, Jean Martin Fortier for His fixed market farm variation of Coleman and Jeavons system. -
I think your, 'can do' spirit is great. I love it. We love your horse too.

You are genious.
How simply and easly.Amazing.Remarkably -
yes we live farther south . am from the philippines and am looking for a more efficient and cost effective method to sow seeds for small farmers. over here the small , marginalized farmer still use hand and trowel to sow and that is back breaking work. will try out your design on our clayey soils. am worried about the mud caking the funnel. may have to put a larger outer wheel to raise it from the ground further. thank you

Thank you for this wonderful idea. i have been researching and trying out my own designs and not finding something suitable. was considering buying the commercial models till i found your site. really wonderful i will try it out. Need one for corn, soya,sunn hemp, mungo beans . thank you!!!
-
very good idea thanks for sharing
-
Clever good idea
-
Very interesting ideas. The reason the commercial one didn't work is that you didnd't rake out the rocks and clumps. I have that same model and really rocky soil but it works fine when you prepare the beds.

good to see people, inventing, filming, explaining. thanks, and keep on keeping on!
-
That last one is brilliantly simple, especially with the chain gathering the soil to cover the seed! Nothing to go wrong and easy to drag in a straight line.
-
Brilliant as always!
-
Great seed planters you've made there...if there is a will, there is a way! Mrs. Tc

Very creative solution. Necessity is the mother of invention!

Great ideas and you came to a perfect conclusion that less is more. Fine work! We have that same seeder you borrowed in the beginning and it is a source of frustration for us. Works best with beans but we need to run it down the row twice and g back and adjust the seeds in the ground to get an even planting.
