SEED-SOWING DEVICE
A Reader’s Recommendation “Being an interested reader each week of the gardening notes in ‘The Dominion,’ I read last week about the sowing of seeds,” writes E.W.S. . I have a simple and easily-made device which may be of interest to your readers, should you care to pass it on. Get a round tobacco tin with an extra lid; put on the bottom of the _ tin and then bore, say, a 3-lb or i-inch hole through both the bottom and extra lid, preferably at the edge; it would be better to have a loose rivet through the centre to prevent the false bottom from falling off, but this would not be necessary if lid was fairly tight-fitting. It will be found by turning the lid or false bottom the size of hole may be adjusted and the seeds sown almost one at a time, if required.”
