When it's on I cover the hole in the lower left corner and dip the yellow tip things into the trough of seeds. One seed is held onto the end of each tip. When I remove my thumb from the hole the seeds fall off in magically straight rows of 12 seeds. I do this twice to have 24 seeds per row.
This is especially useful when seeding lettuce because the seeds are so small. See the nice, not-so-densely seeded lettuce below? It's just beautiful.

ReplyDeleteHa! It's pretty great, but I kind of miss touching the seeds if that makes sense. Not that I'm complaining! Last spring I had to thin out a lot of seedlings which felt like such a waste (I hate wasting things, even seeds). So far I haven't had to thin at all.
