Here is my solution to transport my seedlings out to my patches.
It's an old tabletop on which I have nailed some plexiglas that I got from a neighbor today.
Gonna rig this on to my BIKE , ( you might think I'm nuts) its 4,5 feet long and 2,5 feet wide and I can have more than 1/3 of my seedlings on this device.
Have to do this ride early in da morning or late at night or the hole town think I'm nuts :D
How u like it ?
Every One thought NOAH was crazy too. And look at the TITANIC. I think thats a great idea for Your bike. I would put some foam in it for shock absorbsion from the road trip?

I had an accident just 1/2 hour ago , when moving the trays from the sun into the shade....
Had a number of trays balancing up on a rail , which I have done for 3 days now , when this gust came from nowwhere and 2 trays fell overboard , GC 1 Rustica and Michigan Burley.
I might be able to save half of the GC 1's and 2/3 of the Michigan Burley.
Too bad.
But I'll manage.
PO, I did the same thing- kinda. I put a small green house out and the wind fliped it. They were to small to save them all. Knucks sent Me some more seeds as well. I hatted My self for being careless.

I think that it only takes one time to mess up that it will never happen again. I know I wont. The damage report killed Me.

PO, I'm looking forward to your video.

Concerning getting your plants to the patch, can you rig up a way to pull a wheel barrow back wards behind your bike, like a cart behind a horse? Rig up some harness and traces for the handles? Just a thought.

Yeah thats an idea Knuck and a good one too , but since I don't have a wheelbarrow and have to borrow one from the association out on Vallås and modify it , I don't think so......
I used this tabletop last year as well but my plants was quite different last year with 10-15 plants in a much bigger pot + that it weighed a lot more than what it will do this year , think I'll stick with this idea but Thanks for your idea.

Was out early this morning with this guy from the local radiostation talking live about how to keep snails out of once patch.
He did a reportage last year about my cultivation of tobacco.

Maybe You can get a flat cart trailor that hooks up to the seat stem. I seen a Guy here with His dog in it. You may need to cut a slot in the board so the rack wont be in the way at the back.

That would probably work out just fine , but I do not have the resources to buy a cart trailor , have to be content with what I got.
Good idea though , thanks M O

On the other vehicle I could have my tabletop on the roof , or what u reckon ? :cool:

No. They make a cart for bikes with bike wheels on it and they ride low to the ground. They even make them for small kids to ride in as well. I seen one here for 20 bucks used. Let Me look up what they are for You. That one is great for a 4 wheeler. You don't want to pull something that heavy. They are like a rickshaw for the back of a bike.

That one looked just great MO , I might be able to make a cart like that out of my tabletop , just get a pair of wheels attached to the bottom of the tabletop ?

Something simple.
