As I get older, and things become more exhausting, I'm mechanizing as much as I can. I have always grown my own food and ground my own flour, and depend on the stores for very little.
So a few years ago I threw together a potato planter out of thin tubing and car hubs and junk. I have always been embarrassed by how crude it was, but it did work.
So now I have rebuilt it much better out of scraps from the bin and leftovers from the plasma table. I hate to throw things out that may be useful.
It still needs a bit of cleanup and paint but this is it. Now adjustment is easy and does not require pins and hammers.
The potato harvester is half built, later for that one. Last year 100ft row yielded 700 lb of spuds. We use 150lb and give the rest to the people who help plant our garlic crop. They have 11 kids.
