I would be interested in anyone's experience with the "Stand n Plant" 
transplanter made by a company in Saltsburg, Pa.  They make a seeder(made of 
PVC, around $50/shipping) and a transplanter (made of metal, around 
$100/shipping).  I'm thinking of going out to the shop this morning and 
seeing what I can cobble together with some PVC I have on hand.
