Kids Corner: Easy Planter by Kayla

Easy Planter

The Easy Planter is something our planet would need. I created it for one purpose, to help people plant trees. The reason why I said that is that to our amusement, trees are the most important things in our lives! Without oxygen we wouldn't be where we are right now! If you are interested in The Easy Planter, then you should read on.

First, you'll need an inclined plane and a wedge. Put the inclined plane down and set the wedge on top of the inclined plane. After you do that, steadily and gently nudge the wedge down the slope until it is burrowed in the ground. Next, you pull the wedge out and make sure the cavern-like hole doesn't collapse. Also, check that there's a decent looking dirt mound in front of you. After that, you put a rock into the small dirt mound. After that, you put a rock int the small cup and that triggers the pulley, but makes the net with the seeds tip upside-down because of the string on the bottom. Then, the seeds fo into the hole that the wedge made. The last strep is to hage a log on a pair of wheel and axles with a rock in front of the back pair of wheels. Finally, you take the rocks away and watch it roll and hit the shovel which makes the dirt mound fill the hole.

So, if you want to help the environment, maybe you want to try The Easy Planter. This device is helpful for people and animals because we need oxygen. Would you like have the Easy Planter in your home?
