Pottiputki

Basics

• A Tool Designed to Ergonomically Plant Saplings
• Can also be used, or a similar device can be constructed, to plant Soil Blocks for Transplanting conventional plants
  • A sort of in-between between a Paper Pot Planter and manual planting with a hand shovel
• 400/500 Plants/Hr as per This Video (Bare Mtn Farm)

Sourcing

• The Official Page for the 50mm Version ( ~305USD (Potentially + Shipping + Import Fees ) )
• Website Subsection for All Versions (38-75) and Spare Parts
• Amazon Listing for the 55mm Version ( ~343USD) (Double check if this is not a reseller/scam etc)

Off Brand Version

• "Stand n Plant" ( ~131USD )
  • Granted it isn't too big of an issue, but supporting the original creators seems to be a decent thing to do (although need to double check "Pottiputki" was first i guess then, if it's even worth the trouble)
  • Although if you don't have much money to burn, got to do what you got to do; i'm not the type to fault someone for that
    • Although in that case that DIY Version with some Stainless Steel or Aluminum hardware may be cheaper/work better! DIY/OS FTW!
