New and Improved Homemade 4-Gang Seed Sower!
This is a much more exciting project than you might think. Making a machine with bits and pieces, that works and is useful and cheaper (by far) than you can buy, is exciting to me anyway. Plus – if all goes well – we should see a field of fodder beet seeds in a week or two – which is very exciting in itself. The hinges and the funnels were really cheap – and that should have meant the project could have been called ‘Make a seeder for under 20 dollars!” or something – but the chain cost 30 euro, which added a lot. We did try different lengths and thicknesses of chain – but really, the longer and heavier the better. (I filmed all that too – but this video is already plenty long enough, don’t you think?) (In fact, I had 2-and-a-half-hours of video to edit for this one!) Anyway, thank you for watching and I hope this helps someone make one of their own.. (The holes in this one are 10mm wide and would work (I think) for any big pelleted seeds like kale, carrot, buckwheat, sugar beet, fodder beet, parsnip – and quite possibly grains too, though I haven’t tried them yet..)

I enjoyed this video very much, thank you, reminded me of my uncles farm as a boy. He farmed with a mule.

You'll need to invent something to help pickup the rocks and dump them into a bucket. ;)

El trabajo de algunas profesiones, como los realizadores, influyen en la decisión de muchas en la elección.

El método para conseguir crear empresas es el de empujar a las mujeres a odiar a los hombres para que se rían de ellos poniéndoles guapos, es decir, creando empresas, consiguiendo el trabajo,... Y las que no lo consiguen se creen que son más malas y ponen a un pringao total a traficar de forma ilegal.

Todos los que inventan algo necesitan que sea vendido para ser reconocidos. Para que lo puedan vender tienen que existir gente que los necesite y los compre. Cuanto más tontos sean los que lo necesiten más pedirán. Y así podría seguir con el modelo de negocio y sin quitarle premios a los inventores.

Thank you very much, this video give me some ideas.

Very nice tool. You have a nice way about you, nice to listen to.
This looks like very rocky ground. I grew up in upstate New York in the USA and we had rocky land like this. Picking rocks was hated by all!
Thanks for your time!
