Simple Way To Seed Clover And Other Small Seeded Crops PLANTERS Planters 34-2-41 I came up with a simple way to seed clover and other small-seeded crops onto small patches of ground. I drilled a small hole at the front of a push mower and inserted a short stub of -in. dia. plastic pipe, on top of which I attached an inverted 1-gal. plastic jug filled with seed. I drilled a small hole in the bottom of the inverted jug for a rod to go through. There's a washer at the lower end of the rod inside the jug which serves as a shut-off. Then I cut a larger hole in the top of the jug to fill it with seed.
I mounted the mower on a platform at the front of my ATV. Then I start the mower up and pull up on the rod as needed to let seed drop down through the hole. The stream of air from the mower blades blows the seed out evenly over the ground to be seeded. The blades don't hit the seed. You have to experiment a bit to get the right amount of seed to drop. And, of course, you have to mount the mower very securely on the ATV platform. Once I'm done seeding, the mower can be used normally for mowing. (Al Schroeder, 2055 Highway 47, Olgivie, Minn. 56358)
