Love this old self help stuff. Real self help stuff when its you and the job and not alot of resources.

How does everyone plant small seeds like beets and carrots?
I was considering making a 4 foot pipe with a funnel taped to the top. I could drag the pipe along and drop seeds into the funnel.

Seed Sower
 

Amazon sells a small seed sower [URL]http://www.amazon.com/Luster-Leaf-Rapiclip-Mini-Seedmaster-805/dp/B00126W3XS/ref=pd_bxgy_86_2?ie=UTF8&refRID=1XNPQ59DKTPQ04JDV15Y[/URL]

Mixing small seed in fine sand makes seeding easy.

Good idea!

Nice book, thought the little wire splicing tool looked really useful so I'll try to make one some time. I've mixed small seeds with wall paper paste before, you can pipe it out of a plastic bag with a small hole cut in one of the corners. I think you can use gelatin for the paste if you want.
