Hi All. I like to hear a recommendation before I buy something - so here's my recommendation for the hatfield transplanter - I love this tool!
We bought the smallest one to use for transplants from 128 cell trays - lettuce, onions, broccoli, etc and liked it so well that we bought the next larger one for 50 cell transplants.
I don't quite remember, but it seems like it took two of us 1 1/2 hours or so to set out 300 lettuces in a 100 foot bed last year - we can do it now in 1/2 hour - with no knees in the dirt! We've set out several thousand transplants so far. One caveat - it works best in a nice fine seedbed, but I've used it in some clumpy stuff too.
I got it from Johnnys - about $100 delivered.
Can this be used by one person working alone, or does it require two people?
The Johnny's catalogue sounds as if it requires two.
