Hand Planter

I seen them somewhere but can't remember where.(magazine or web site)
It's a hand planter ,maybe three foot long with a squeeze handle at the top ,a tube at the bottom that holds the seed ,then releases one seed each time you squeeze the handle.
Any ides where I can find them??

I am sure that they can be found at a lot of different seed/garden companies. Here's a link to one at Johnny's: http://www.johnnyseeds.com/catalog/p...=328&item=9178
I would also guess that you can find others that are cheaper, but Johnny's usually sells decent quality stuff.

$119??? OMG. You can get a rotary seed drill for less than that. Last year I used a 4' section of conduit to plant some beans. Saved the bending over, but the only thing to remember is not to jab it directly into the soil and plug the end, and to inspect it about every five or ten seeds to make sure it hasn't plugged up. Maybe I'll run a dowel down it this year or sumpin' like that.
