How does everyone plant small seeds like beets and carrots?
I was considering making a 4 foot pipe with a funnel taped to the top. I could drag the pipe along and drop seeds into the funnel.

Mixing small seed in fine sand makes seeding easy.

Nice book, thought the little wire splicing tool looked really useful so I'll try to make one some time. I've mixed small seeds with wall paper paste before, you can pipe it out of a plastic bag with a small hole cut in one of the corners. I think you can use gelatin for the paste if you want.
