Duffel Bag Used To Make Great Small Site Seeder
“Seeding grass on small strips of ground alongside a road or sidewalk is difficult with a wheeled seeder, so we came up with our method that works a whole lot better,” says Joe Williams of A. Liberoni Landscaping near Pittsburgh.
    Williams and his cohorts use a seeder they made from a duffel bag. An 18-in. length of 1 1/2-in. dia. pool hose extends out the bottom. To use, a worker fills the duffel bag with seed and carries it over his shoulder, waving the hose back and forth to seed small areas. “A worker just slings the bag onto his back and can cover a lot of ground very quickly,” says Williams.
    He says one the workers named the duffel bag seeder ‘Snork’ because he thought it looked like a cartoon character from an animated TV series that ran back in the 1980’s. “Snork has been a big help to us and when people see us using it, they stop and admire how well it works,” Williams says. “It holds about 20 lbs. of grass seed, enough to cover almost a quarter mile of ground 2 feet wide on both sides of a road or trail.”
