A simple mechanical acorn seeder developed by the USDA Forest Service Toumey Nursery is described. A Wind River Seeder Frame was modified by inserting holes in a ratating drum to allow acorns to pass through the drum. The seeder sows 8 acorns per foot of nursery bed, and its use can produce substantial savings in time and money. Drawings are available upon request from the senior author.
