Bed Leveler Makes Planting Easier

Bed Leveler Makes Planting Easier PLANTING EQUIPMENT Ridge-Till Roscoe Lynn of Bryceville Fla says the bed leveler he built makes it a lot easier to make garden beds with his tractor Before he would prep his garden with a bedder and then go over the newly formed beds by hand with a rake “After spending way too much time raking down the top of the beds to make them flat and smooth before planting them year after year I decided to make something to save time gardening ” he says Lynn fabricated an attachment out of a scrap piece of heavy-duty expanded metal that he made some adjustments to It flattens the garden bed and leaves a smooth top for planting The attachment folds up when not needed and is easy to take off the bedder by removing two bolts “It took lots of trial and error to set it up to pivot ” he says “Now I can flip it up at the end of the row for easier turning to start the next one ” Lynn uses it to maintain a garden space that’s as much for the greater community as for him He’s been known to offer 4-H lessons on his property and is willing to talk to anyone about the projects he’s tinkering on “I’ll do anything to help kids and future generations to learn about self-sufficiency ” he says “And for my garden I give away as much as I eat I call it heart medicine” Contact: FARM SHOW Followup Roscoe Lynn 5855 Stafford Rd Bryceville Fla 32009 ph 904-314-7544
