John Hendrickson who posts here occasionally has used it and can share a lot more than I can. Andy breck wrote:Andy, would you share info on the Japanese transplanter?

I have purchased two transplanters to reduce transplanting time - one is hand operated from Japan and will be used for greens in the hoophouses and some alliums, while the other is on a 3pt mount and will be used for almost everything I set out. I also purchased a cultivating tractor to reduce the amount of time spent on weeding. I will put the drip irrigation in the hoophouses on a timer this season to ensure that it turns on and off when I need it (there were several times last season when I forgot to turn it off and it ran a few hours too long). I also scaled up my implements to reduce the amount of time required to prepare a field for planting. Andrew King wrote:Has anyone found any Techniques to save time ?
