To plant seeds without stooping over; cut a comfortable length of hose or pipe and drop the seeds through it.

It works great with small seeds that you want 'right there' - not where the wind blew them. It also makes neat row-crops do-able for folks that don't bend so easily.

Susie, that video is priceless! I am sending it out to the family & friends so that they can roflol, too! Rolling on the floor laughing

Well, I admit, I cheated. That's two funnels, the black one a really long transmission fluid funnel, too big to get it all in the pic.

Hehehe, probably so. Reckon I should've put one funnel in each ear but I was afraid I'd look like an elephant...either that or just plain weird. Uh, wait, probably already look weird w/out the funnels anyway, eh?

Confused

Well, at least give me credit, Junebug... I'm not putting bean seeds down the funnels in the wrong direction and sowing them in my earbones, eh?
