In-Depth Information
Put another nut into the U channel above the hole into which
the bolt will be inserted. (The U channel fits the nut perfectly
so no wrenches are needed.)
Screw the bolt into the nut through the hole in the U channel.
Do this for whatever distance is needed. Adjust the bolts and
nuts for proper depth and a snug fit.
To use the planting guide, place the properly spaced bolt
heads on leveled earth and press to leave an indentation of the
required depth. Then, lift and place the guide a suitable
distance from the first row and repeat until done.
Putting Seeds in the Holes
Larger seeds, such as beans, peas, corn and so forth are easily
handled and placed in the holes. But smaller seeds such as
carrots, onions and lettuce can be challenging. It can be
frustrating trying to pick up those seeds and place them in the
beds one at a time. Usually, I use my daughter with her small
fingers for such chores, but when she isn't around other
options are required.
