Hand Seeder Saves Time, Seeds

Hand Seeder Saves Time Seeds PLANTERS “You can plant much more quickly and accurately with very few wasted seeds ” says organic produce grower Earl Weber who worked a couple of years with an engineer to develop the “Sow EZ” hand seeder
    It uses a seed disc to singulate seeds just like full-size farm or garden planters
    To use fill the hopper about half full of seeds select one of the four disc sizes and pull the trigger to release one seed at a time
    Designed for spherical seeds three of the disc openings work for all threes sizes of pelletized seeds The fourth is the smallest for round brassica seeds such as broccoli and kale
    In addition to starting plants in seed trays and soil blocks Sow EZ works well in raised beds or for spot planting in fields The clear polycarbonate hopper holds 200 large seeds or 1 000 brassica seeds and can be emptied and reloaded within seconds
    Made in the U S out of durable UV-resistant ABS plastic Sow EZ sells for $20 to $25 on Weber’s website and through Vesseys and Territorial Seed catalogs and online sites Only introduced this March Weber anticipates it will be available through more seed catalogs in the future
