Seed Plate Guide

This is a list of all the seed plates currently produced for the 1001-B Precision Garden Seeder.  Custom seed plates are available by calling 

Customer Service at 574-848-7491.  We will need 1 cup of seeds for testing purposes and desired seed spacing requirements.  

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.
