Best, Devon

Some good news about the human-powered, prone-position harvester.. A group at Farm Hack - Iowa was just discussing that earlier this Summer , check their "Quadracycle Harvester/Weeder" plans, here:

Another tool that is being used just outside of Ithaca, is the Japanese Paper Pot Transplanter. Muddy Fingers Farm in Hector NY has begun to use this transplanter, and I hope to hear some feedback about their experience with it during the design charrettes-- the way it works is amazing.

or
( Check out one of the only farmer-suppliers in America who carries these instruments: www.smallfarmworks.com )
