    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.

    Ingenious! And the price is right. Good luck with the growing part.

    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.

    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

  • @Freeknowledgefan
    @Freeknowledgefan 9 лет назад +2

    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.

    • @WayOutWestx2
      @WayOutWestx2  9 лет назад +1

      Freeknowledgefan Thanks - I think we could have done better with the commercial one given more time and practice. But I'm working on a bigger version of mine now because I think it will work better in our soggy soil.

  • @goforgreenliving
    @goforgreenliving 10 лет назад

    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!!!

  • @princessorig1
    @princessorig1 9 лет назад +2

    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

    Nice one. I've heard a few people say that the manufactured seed delivery devices don't do small seeds well at all. I like the chain one as it covered the seeds once sown.
    The carrot seeds looked awfully big. What are they coated with please? Nice process video. I like seeing how folk get to their end result.
    I really do think you're an amazingly practical family. All the best from Manchester. David.

    Amazing. Very cool. Not perfect for every situation, but for your planting goals a great solution.

    • @WayOutWestx2
      @WayOutWestx2  6 лет назад +2

      We've been feeding it huge amounts of manure and compost for 12 years now. It's just that it started out really poor soil.

    Put a roller crimper on that horse and cover crop with a legume a grass and a root crop and pull them out in the winter. Plant a real crop in the summer. Your soil will live.

    You're a budding Jethro Tull. The seed drills I've looked at had little spoons, with an end just big enough to pick up one seed at a time and rotate to drop them down a chute.
