Garden Seed Planter

However, if you have a larger vegetable garden planted in rows, planting seeds can be a time-consuming and painstaking task.

Since proper spacing of seeds is an important first step, hand seeding often wastes many seeds.

Using a garden seed planter makes the job of seeding a garden easier and reduces the amount of wasted seeds.

How Garden Seeders Work

Planting seeds requires a few steps. Creating rows, proper planting for different varieties, and covering the soil to the proper depth are crucial for successful germination of seeds.

A seed planter spaces the seed by variety, plants the seed at the right depth, covers the seed with soil and marks the adjacent row in one step.

In order for the seed planter to properly do its job, you will need to till the soil and work in any amendments first.

Seed Planter Features

There are some basic features to look for when purchasing a seed planter. The planter should e made of weather-resistant materials that will last for several years. Unless purchased pre-assembled in a store, look for ease of assembly.

Features to look for include a row marker, depth gauge for different depths of planting, seed plates that can plant several different types of seeds and are easily attached, and a fertilizer applicator.

A product that is lightweight for ease of handling makes the job that much easier.
