Pam, I wish you would come and fill my flats for me....the dust pan is a great idea. Shawnee, zone 5, and resenting the chores on a perfect day for kite flying Date: Sun, 11 Apr 2010 11:02:52 -0400 From: pam AT twinoaks.org To: market-farming AT lists.ibiblio.org Subject: Re: [Market-farming] filling flats Tom I use a domestic plastic dustpan to scoop and dump out potting compost/starter soil on top of flats sitting on a big kitchen tray. The dustpan holds more than hands or trowel, and can then be used to scrape across the top and level the compost. I have made a couple of dibble boards to press down the compost and make holes for seeds. I used short sections of skinny plastic pipe held onto the board with long dome-headed screws, set at the appropriate spacing for the plug flats I'm using. >Tom asked: For example, how about something simple like filling the cells with starter mix? How do you all do it?< Pam, Twin oaks, Louisa, VA Hotmail is redefining busy with tools for the New Busy. Get more from your inbox. See how. |
