Invention Lets You Stand And Plant

Invention Lets You Stand And Plant FARM HOME Miscellaneous 30-3-16 "Just poke, squeeze and pull," says Mary Olliver about the "Stand æn Plant" garden tool her husband invented so he doesn't have to bend over when planting his three acres of pumpkins. It's made from 1-in. dia. PVC with a tip at the end that drops seed 1 in. deep and covers it. A durable strap on the handle opens and closes the tip. Although they've been using the Stand n Plant since 1986, they didn't have time to sell them. "We were too busy farming," she says. Now that they're getting older and cutting back on farming, they have the time to try to put it on the market. Olliver says it'll plant seeds, bulbs, and seedlings. Sells for $39.99 plus S&H.
