About Seeders

Seeders are essential gardening tools designed to make sowing seeds easier, faster and more accurate. Whether you're planting vegetable patches, flower beds or maintaining larger garden areas, a quality seeder ensures even distribution and optimal spacing of seeds for better germination rates. MyToolShed.co.uk stocks professional-grade seeders suitable for both keen gardeners and horticultural professionals who demand precision and reliability in their planting work.

From handheld seed sowers to interchangeable multi-change systems, modern seeders eliminate the guesswork from traditional hand-sowing methods. These tools help conserve seeds by preventing over-sowing, save time on large planting jobs, and reduce strain on your back and knees by allowing you to work from a standing position. MyToolShed offers seeders from trusted brands like Wolf Garten, known for their innovative multi-change tool systems that provide excellent value and versatility.

Applications

• Professional gardeners and landscapers - for efficient seed sowing across multiple client sites
• Allotment holders - planting rows of vegetables with consistent spacing
• Groundskeepers and estate maintenance - overseeding lawns and maintaining green spaces
• Garden centres and nurseries - preparing seed trays and growing areas
• Domestic gardeners - home vegetable gardens, flower beds and lawn renovation
• Agricultural smallholdings - small-scale crop planting and market gardening

Choosing The Right Seeders

When selecting a seeder, consider the scale of your planting work. Handheld seed sowers are perfect for smaller gardens and raised beds, whilst larger hoppers suit extensive allotments or professional landscaping projects. Check the seed size compatibility - many seeders feature adjustable openings to accommodate different seed types from fine grass seed to larger vegetable seeds.

Look for multi-change compatibility if you already own interchangeable tool systems, as this offers excellent value and reduces storage space. The Wolf Garten range available at MyToolShed.co.uk works with their multi-change handle system, allowing one handle to serve multiple tool heads. Consider build quality and materials - professional-grade seeders with durable plastic or metal construction will withstand regular use and outdoor conditions far better than budget alternatives.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use a seeder for all types of seeds?

Most quality seeders handle a wide range of seed sizes through adjustable openings or interchangeable discs. Very fine seeds like poppy or extremely large seeds may require specific models, so check the manufacturer's specifications for the seed types you'll be planting most frequently.

Do I need a separate handle for multi-change seeders?

Yes, multi-change seed sower heads like the Wolf Garten models require a compatible handle, sold separately. If you already own other multi-change tools, your existing handle will fit, making this a cost-effective choice.

How do seeders improve germination rates?

Seeders distribute seeds at consistent depths and spacing, preventing overcrowding and ensuring each seed receives adequate light, nutrients and moisture. This controlled sowing typically results in better germination compared to random hand-scattering methods.
