Backyard Aquaponics
A place to discuss aquaponics

Well people, time to design (and share) what you use to plant your seedlings in your gravel etc...
As gravel is the cheapest media to plant in lets see if we can come up with a design for a simple planting tool to work in gravel.

Good question-AM.
I have found a good use for those salad servers that never work.
Also tongs, you know those spring loaded ones that crap everyone off.
Just dig them in closed, separate a bit to place the seedling in between and then remove gently.For me it works a treat.

I have found the good old eating fork and desert spoon work well too - nothing high tech about them and they work great!

watch out for the missus

hmm, hetter make a turn at lifeline or the salvo's and get some seconhand ones then

I tend to use a special five fingered device, well two of them actually....

The fork saves the five fingered device for more delicate 'things'... my gravel is a bit harsh on the fingertips!

I like the tongs, simple!

The misses hates using them.
I got a walk up start as they were handed to me prior to planting.
Hate to admit it but sometimes wifey has good ideas...
(gets slap on back of head..!!!)
