Author Message   Plantlady2  My Favorite Photo My Weather My Garden My Time Posted on Tuesday, October 30, 2007 - 08:30 pm EST :    Those of you who use the metal fence posts to support your dahlias know what a beast they can be to remove-- esp. the ones with that spear-shaped thing by the bottom. Our son, David who is always inventing stuff to make dahlia growing easier for Walt- invented this thing- a post jack- or something. It works somewhat like the old car bumper jacks used to- you know - back when bumpers were metal & a jack was something you didn't need an instruction manual just to figure out where it went? Walt just attaches the doohinky (technical term, there) on the top to the post & pushes down on the handle & out pops the post! Ingenious! He also made Walt a Post-thumper-inner-- but Walt preferred to stand on a 5- gal. bucket & use his 18 pound sledge-hammer to thump them in-- so David made him a step thing with a non-skid top so he didn't fall off of the bucket. Handy kid to have around! Cory Plantlady2 - Washington, Zone "7"
