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.
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
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.
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.
That was some great working seed planters the bad thing is there needs to be a better one on the market or they can just follow you and build one Thanks for the ideas!
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!!!
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. To grow more with less, review John Jeavons BioIntensive system, Elliot Colemans Intensive system with a commercial focus, Curtis Stone for his Urban Farmer approach to Elliot Coleman and John Jeavons work, Jean Martin Fortier for His fixed market farm variation of Coleman and Jeavons system.
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.
good to see people, inventing, filming, explaining. thanks, and keep on keeping on!
chasedoggreenbird Thanks, chasedoggreenbird - that's exactly what we're planning to do!

Very creative solution. Necessity is the mother of invention!
Another genus invention.
Well done for keeping at it.
That is awesome.

Ingenious! And the price is right. Good luck with the growing part.
I think your, 'can do' spirit is great. I love it. We love your horse too.

Brilliant as always!
Oh, yes! Straight into favorites!

Thank you Flojo - we just feel lucky to have the space to do all sorts of things. No much money or time - but plenty of space!
Great seed planters you've made there...if there is a will, there is a way! Mrs. Tc

If anyone wants to pinch the design that's fine too : - )

+Maria Rosa Solis I hope you realise how lucky you are to be able to sow all those! You must live way farther south than we do..

That is genius! Fit for purpose, unlike so many things on the market today! Are you still using it?
We're moving to no-dig, so we're experimenting more with plugs - but yes, the later version is working fine
@@WayOutWestx2 That's great!

Great !
Clever good idea
What exactly does *_"harrowing"_* do?
tu sei un genio!!!!!!
Were you to don a top hat you would look and sound like Jacob Marley of Scrooge fame with the chain tagging along. Excellent solving skills.
Mike
use a box scrapper after plowing after a few years of this you will reduce rocks - take to the edge of field make wall
Interesting, basically a simplified DIY Planet Jr. no1 seeder.
I love seeing the failed attempts and the progression.
Really cool!
Thank you ItsCiwi, yes, in a way, the progression is the most interesting bit. In hindsight, anyway!
MUITO BOM, PARABÉNS,
walking is so much nicer than hunkering....lol. we call it ozark engineering...what do you call it in Ireland? another great video.
Thanks Terry. Seeds posted yesterday (Hope customs don't stop them. though they could grow some too..)

How about some compost for that soil...it looks drier than the sahara desert!
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.
How would we plant the cover crop/root crop without ploughing?

is this Video on the german channel 'neues irisches tagebuch
Yes, it is. That's our channel too!
now just sit in a chair at the end of the field and reel it in with a fishing pole! :)
Цікаво!
I just wanna tell u that ploughing is bad for the ground
