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.
