Punched Tin
What do old farmers use for planting flower seeds?
Hi,
I have a bunch of seeds to plant for a wildflower garden. To many to just do it one by one. I know I could buy one of those little hand seeders, but I'd rather do something more simple.
I remember my dad using something to sprinkle the seeds for his garden. Maybe a pie tin, or a paper plate or something. He gone now, but he was the old-fashioned midwest farmer type. I wish I could remember what he used. I'm sure it was practical and easy and that it WORKED! Maybe he punched holes in a pie tin. I don't remember.
Any ideas? Can you think of anything you or your parents/grandparents have used? I would appreciate the help.
Depending on the size of the seed, you can use a cheese sprinkler -- like the ones used at pizza shops to sprinkle parmesan cheese -- or a salt shaker. You can often get these cheap at garage sales or at a thrift shop or dollar store.
