Potting Soil Dispenser Works Well
A research study requiring culture of several thousand bitterbrush seedlings in planting cups revealed the need for a fast, efficient method of filling the cups with potting soil. This article describes a simple, inexpensive soil dispenser which was improvised to meet that need. With this device, 600 potting cups per hour were filled with dry soil mixture compared to 300 per hour with a scoop. Other workers raising large quantities of potted stock may want to try the system to reduce time and cost in greenhouse operations.
