Flame
From Neversink Tools

We had already started seedling plantings which is very time consuming. We were so happy when our Paperpot Transplanter arrived. Turning hours into minutes and for one worker instead of three, (not to mention the savings on our backs), we now have lots of seedlings growing in garden. Many thanks to ActiveVista for their support and help.
So exciting to finally get the Jang seeder dirty! Today we planted Kale and Rocket - it only took us 30 minutes with this bad boy!
