Plant a full row and it comes up straight. The board sets the grid, the numbered dibber sets the depth, and the funnel puts each seed where it belongs. Planting day gets quick and tidy, kids included.
Plant vegetable seeds in perfectly spaced square grids with one simple board
- uneven seed spacing
- guessing planting depth and distance
- wasted seeds
- slow row planting
Plant every seed in a perfect square grid
Before: kneeling over a packet, eyeballing gaps and wasting seed. After: one board lays out even holes, and neat seedlings fill your raised bed.
Every hole placed before you start planting
- Pre-spaced colour-ringed holes
Every hole sits at a fixed spot on the grid, so the second row lines up with the first without a tape measure. The colour rings mark different spacing patterns, and the elongated slots take larger plants without breaking the layout.
- Numbered dibber for depth
The orange tool is marked 2, 3 and 4. Match the number to the spacing on your seed packet, press it in, and every hole gets the same depth. The numbers sit right on the tool, so you can read them while kneeling.
- Funnel that drops seeds true
Pour seeds into the funnel and they drop straight into the hole. Less seed lands in clumps or on the soil beside the grid, so more of the packet ends up where you planned.
Plant a full bed in one spring morning
- 1Press the board
Set the board on moist, loose soil and press gently so the holes sit at the surface.
- 2Set the depth
Pick the number on the dibber that matches your seed packet, then press it into each hole to that depth.
- 3Drop the seeds
Tip seeds into the funnel and let them fall into each hole. Tap the funnel for very fine seed instead of pouring.
- 4Cover and water
Brush soil over the holes, firm lightly, and water gently so the seeds stay where you placed them.

Questions and answers
The grid holes suit standard vegetable seed, and the elongated slots take larger seeds and transplants. Check the spacing on your packet, then pick the matching hole and dibber number. Very fine seed needs a light touch, so tap the funnel rather than pour.
They are the depth and spacing settings on the orange tool. Match the number to the spacing printed on your seed packet, then set the same depth in every hole.
The board is matte green plastic with embossed branding and lies flat on the soil each spring. Rinse off soil after planting, let it dry, and store it out of direct sun between seasons.
Kids can drop seeds through the funnel while an adult holds the board steady. The tools are light and easy to grip for small hands, and an adult should supervise any pressing into the bed.
A small bed gets the most from it, since you skip string lines and rulers on every row. On a bigger plot, the three tools cover the whole job, so you are not buying a separate dibber and funnel. The return comes from fewer wasted seeds and less thinning.
