Backyard farmers have a unique set of fitness gear. It’s designed to make their workouts easier to do, not harder. Like this tool here. It’s the Stand and Plant planter. It was invented by a Tennessee farmer who specializes in sweet potatoes. He grows over 18 different varieties, and that means he plants a lot of them.
Backyard Riches member David Elias, owner/operator of Hooligan Farm, bought the Stand and Plant planter this year and says he has already earned back its cost. He hasn’t just used it for his sweet potato slips. He’s also used it on his tomato transplants. It works well for peppers too. He spreads a flat of 4 packs down the row where they are to be planted, and then picks up and plants each pack as he works his way down the row. His work rate was about 100 plants in about a half hour. He’d highly recommend it and says you can order it direct from the inventor here.
On behalf of all current and future Backyard Riches members, we’d like to thank the Tatorman for inventing the Stand and Plant. Farmers can always be counted on to have each other’s backs. Especially in the Backyard Riches forum, which you can access here.
