>>On a tangential note: anybody has experience with the Hatfield
transplanter?  There was a discussion about it on this list last year, and
the reviews where mixed.  >>I am on the fence about getting one, but I guess
my back would certainly appreciate if I did!  Which size would work for
transplanting 72 and 50 plugs?

Don't have experience with the Hatfield but would recommend a
"Stand-n-Plant".  We have three of the planters and three of the seeders.
The larger ones I transplanted 72s up to 32s without issue.  I love the
stand-n-plant because it is one person/one hand operation to use and your
other hand is free to load it.  Much better in my opinion than having to use
two hands and two people like the Hatfield requires.
