Grading daffodil bulbs

Here are some pictures of our grading set up.

The rubbing machine removes the husks and the dirt falls through to collected.

The grading machine sorts the bulbs into sizes. It has a jumping motion which moves the bulbs along the riddles that are sized progressively larger. Once they move across a riddle that is larger than the diameter of the bulb it falls through to be collected in a bucket below. Unfortunately daffodil bulbs often have offsets which get caught, so you have to be manually moving the odd bulbs along.


Fine day but overcast and milder than yesterday light overnight rain, max 26.6 C, min 17.1 C rainfall 4.6mm . Grading and counting wholesale orders, found time to repair the ride-on-mower and the hand hold in the Tasar (sailing boat). Staying tonight down at the campsite at Balnarring Beach.
