I can't remember where I first saw this seed spreader. I ordered it right away. I knew my wife would appreciate this tool after we discussed the possibility of installing raised beds. It couldn't be easier to use. If you have a square bed, start in a corner, use the included spoon in the appropriate hole and depth for your seeds, move around and repeat the process. As you can see in the images above, it is very easy to align with previous impressions. The included instructions are pretty clear…

Last weekend I transplanted about 100-125 onion bulbs with it. This saved me a lot of time compared to the 100-125 bulbs I planted a few days earlier. Another great feature is that since everything is positioned correctly and there are grid lines in the soil, I can place companion plants better. I use a combination of lasagna/shift growing, companion planting, crop rotation and vertical gardening. I take principles from everyone and combine them into my personal theory. This grid not only saved

I'm pretty good with woodworking tools and was thinking of making a similar template out of scrap wood and sealing it with polyurethane. Although it was a great design. First, the holes are color coded so you can easily see which holes go with which plants. Using markers to make identical colored dots on the seed packets takes the guesswork out of you. Second, I wasn't a fan of the large piece of plastic, but it washes out very easily. I'd probably use a 1/2" piece of wood, but the edges of the

I have to admit, when I first saw this square I was hesitant to buy it for fear of having another "gadget" that I wouldn't use anymore. in the future. However, when it arrived today I was confident it would be a memory in my family to pass on to my grandchildren! At first I was really impressed with the excellent quality of the square. The plastic isn't…

I bought one of these seed squares a few years ago when I was first trying to do SFG (Square Foot Garden). As a native of Minnesota I wanted to try this method as we have such a short growing season and there seemed to be a lot for the initial minimal effort - oh and I hate weeding. OK. So I got Mel Bartholomew's book ["All New SFG"] and read it, and at first I was quite confused. Looking at all the SFG options, I just wanted a reliable distribution and placement method - as a man, I hate…

When I was exploring the possibility of buying a Seeding Square (not "seedling"), I noticed that some reviewers thought it sounded too easy until they tried it and were blown away. That would be exactly my opinion. Over time, my gardening experience deteriorated as I tried to grow mostly vegetables in clay soil and was constantly weeding. It was time consuming with limited reward. When I started my annual garden journal in January, I vowed to do better. My first new rule was that I would no…

I heard about this product on a gardening group on Facebook. Someone was delighted, someone complained about the price. But I was curious. Last year I planted various gardens (perennials, annuals, planters) in my new home and just created 280 feet of raised beds for planting. I'm tired of carrying a tape measure with me. So I decided to give it a try. First off I would like to say that I think this product is really good for "raised bed gardening" and for two specific groups of people - those…
