Hi Walter:
I'm going to add my voice to the chorus.... on my potting table, along with
all the other tools of destruction, I have a candle in an inexpensive holder
and various size nails. But I use these to poke holes in the bottom of
styrofoam cups. You can do 3 or four at a time if you have a long enough
nail (just leave them nested together when you poke your holes).
Other tools include a clamp-on light for small seeds, an eyedropper for
various potions and elixirs (my latest find.... something made from algae), a
large tote for easy mixing of soil and scooping of results... and so on. In
fact, it's getting to the time of year where I'll have to organize my potting
tools for the inevitable winter.
