Warming and the first rays of the spring sun are driving truck farmers to their plantations. Nevertheless, for real "patriots" of agriculture this time begins much earlier, even in February, when they are engaged in greenhouses. Therefore, not to do without a small, but very successful seeder dispenser from China. The simplicity of the device makes it possible to use this thing even for a beginning gardener.
Third hand gardener
Seeds of carrots, turnips, cabbage, parsley, arugula and other vegetables are fairly tiny. And the fingers of the farmer frantically sort them out so as not to drop them. However, they still lose a third of these DNA carriers during sowing. To avoid this and do such a responsible job qualitatively, you need jewelry accuracy. In this regard, the seed drill has a structure:
- A capacious container for seeds.
- Transparent cover, so you can control the stock of content. It has a dial with six divisions. Under each of them there is an opening for a specifically caliber of grain. Therefore, it is possible to sow both 1 mm and 10 mm seeds.
- Cone-shaped groove, which is more than 6 cm in length. The tip of the body is made in the form of a cut and will serve as a marker. Then, when sowing, the groove will become clearer if you press a little on the drill. As a result, the seeds fall flatly and immediately into a small depression.
Such an elementary construction contributes to an even distribution of seeds over the bed of the bed. It's a pleasure to work with this dispenser. The disc-shaped base corresponds to the size of the palm, which makes it convenient to hold the device. The rim of the lid, as well as the outer sides of the groove, have a ribbed structure. So, the drill does not slip out of the hand during work.
