Quick planting of potatoes with one foot movement (video)
It would seem that it is impossible to facilitate the process of planting potatoes by hand. Very often, when reminded of the upcoming work, people shudder. Immediately, the idea of impending suffering from sharp back pain begins. Some summer residents take a day off at work immediately after planting potatoes.
However, do not be discouraged about this. More recently, a unique shovel was invented, which completely replaces the operation of a walk-behind tractor, and significantly facilitates the functions of a conventional shovel. A hole is made in two movements: once you need to press with your foot to drive the shovel into the soil, and with the second movement, turn the earth over.
But how this is done, and what form this invention has, look at the video:
The device for planting potatoes "vyatsky plowman" is amazing in its simplicity and efficiency. It is needed on well-cultivated light soil no less than for the development of turf. Here we plowed the garden with a motor-plow, and then we begin to trample it down when planting, throwing fertilizers, potatoes, digging holes. And with such a wonderful shovel, you can walk through the fallow and immediately put potatoes into the prepared soil. The next pass will close and the seed can be placed again through the row. The beauty!
There is no need for prior plowing, which removes precious moisture. But not everyone can make such a device. The calculation is still needed. The shovel cannot be heavy, but the "plow" must be hard. Special steel is required. Therefore, it would be nice to describe the invention in more detail.
