A Garden Jig...



No, it's not a dance. (Though I've probably been known to dance in the garden.) It's a little contraption that I read about in Eliot Coleman's book, New Organic Grower's Four Season Harvest. Philip looked at the photos in the book and customized one for our garden. You simply lay it on the row where you want to plant, apply a bit of pressure, and voila! It makes small indentations for your seed at just the right spacing!You'll have to look closely to see the 12 little, correctly-spaced holes...

Here's a closeup of one of the holes. Just pop in your seed and cover it up.
