Garden Planter Made Out Of Plastic Peanut Butter Jar And A Wooden Wheel
I made a garden planter for tiny seeds out of plastic peanut butter jar and a wooden wheel. The jar is screwed to the center of the 1-in. wide, 12-in. dia. wheel which bolts to a 36-in. long handle. As the wheel and jar turn, seed falls out of a series of 1/8-in. dia. holes that I drilled into the base of the jar. The holes are spaced 1 inch apart. A length of chain is used to drag soil over the seed. When I fill the jar I place a piece of tape over the holes to keep seed from falling out before I'm ready to plant.
Another idea I had was to bolt an old 6-ft. wide dump rake to a 3-pt. mounted harrow frame. I use it to rake leaves onto my garden and for doing clean-up work. I use my small Ford 1710 tractor to pull it. (Wayne A. Beggs, 3378 Augusta Hwy., Lincolnton, Ga. 30817 ph 706 359-1240)
