A Seeding Square is a garden planting template that helps people with low vision and hand impairments plant small seeds at proper depth and spacing.
The Seeding Square helps space and plant all kinds of seeds accurately and even has a little scoop that helps planting tiny seeds. It’s perfect for older people and those with arthritis, carpal tunnel, or other hand injuries. It helps those with low vision to keep everything gridded nicely and quickly with contrasting colors and evenly spaced holes for various crops.
Seeding Square, the square-foot seeding template helps you maximize growth in limited space. The concept is inspired by Mel Bartholomew’s popular gardening method: Square Foot Gardening, whereby seeds are sown in specific positions within a square foot, allowing enough room for each to grow to maturity without wasting space. Simple to use, the template shows correct seed spacing with color-coded holes matched to a planting chart of 46 types of vegetables, allowing you to quickly know where to drop seed or seedling. A graduated dibber (dibbler) with depth markings removes the guesswork out of setting the right planting depth. The dibber also functions as a seed spoon, which can be used with the included funnel to deposit tiny seeds accurately. When done seeding a square foot section, the impressions left in the soil allow you to line up the template for the next square foot, thus letting you use it to plant your entire garden. As each square foot is planted with a single type of vegetable seed and harvested when ready, Seeding Square allows for ease of replanting and crop rotation for those looking to increase their yield even further!
