Seed Plate Guide
This is a list of all the seed plates currently produced for the 1001-B Precision Garden Seeder.
Information:
5
The 1001-B Precision Garden Seeder will travel 36”/91.4cm for one revolution of the
seed plate.
5
Custom seed fitting can be easily accomplished by partially filling the seed cups of a larger seed plate using bees wax.
Spacing changes can be made by filling the seed cup fully with bees wax to get the desired spacing.
5
If you have problems with small seeds getting behind the seed plate, dip the seed plate in soapy water then let air dry.
This should solve your problem.
Blank seed plate construction:
The 18106 Blank seed plate can be used to produce a custom plate
at home. You will need to be able to use a small file or grinder to
“carve” the cups into the plastic plate, or in some cases, use epoxy
or auto body filler to create a cup on the blank plate for larger seeds.
If you have any questions, please call 800-294-0671 or email
[email protected].
