Save time and effort with a metering seeder from China
Warming and the first rays of the spring sun are driving gardeners to their plantations. Yet for real "patriots" of agriculture, this time begins much earlier, back in February, when they are busy with greenhouses. Therefore, you cannot do without a small but very successful metering seeder from China. The simplicity of the device allows even a novice gardener to use this thing.
The gardener's third hand
The seeds of carrots, turnips, cabbage, parsley, arugula and other vegetables are quite miniature. And the fingers of the farmer twist them convulsively so as not to drop them. However, they still lose a third of these carriers of DNA during sowing. To avoid this and to do such a responsible job with high quality, you need jewelry precision. In this regard, the metering seeder has the structure:
- Capacious seed container.
- Transparent lid so you can control your inventory. It has a dial with six divisions. There is a hole under each one for a specific grain size. Therefore, both 1 mm and 10 mm seeds can be sown.
- A tapered groove that is more than 6 cm long. The tip of the body is cut and will serve as a marker. Then, when seeding, the groove will become clearer if you apply a little pressure on the drill. As a result, the grains fall evenly and immediately into a small depression.
This elementary design contributes to an even distribution of seeds over the surface of the bed. Working with this dispenser is a pleasure. The disc-shaped base fits the palm of your hand for a comfortable grip. The rim of the cover as well as the outer sides of the groove have a ribbed structure. Thus, the seeder does not slip out of your hands during operation.
