For what you pay I expect that it would be heavier and build with a thicker construction. To last you longer as it is, and also a heavier weight would just help to press the guys into the actual ground a little bit more. But the concept and ideal is nice for proper spacing and allowing you to get more into one space.

I find this to be very helpful in knowing exactly how many seeds to plant in my raised bed garden. I liked it so much that I got one for someone else as a gift that was well received. Really takes some of the guesswork out of how many seeds to plant of specific vegetables.

I’m new to gardening, this is my first time having a garden and I truly didn’t know how to start. After some research I discovered the sq/ft garden method. For those of you who don’t know the method, behind your seed packs you will see the spacing requirements for each plant. You put this plastic template on the ground and then plant in the seeds in the appropriate holes (based on the plant spacing). That easy! I love this method because it allows you to plant more in a small space, which = more crops! A must have if you want to maximize your garden space!

I’ve been trying to be a gardener for three years. Every year I fail. I can never get the seeds in right or spaced right. This system is EXACTLY what I needed. My wife saw it on Dragon’s Den. I ordered that night and got it the next day! This is brilliant!

I hesitated for a while on whether or not I should purchase this. So glad I did, because it works great. Very sturdy. Makes square foot gardening so much easier and quicker.

Made spacing my root veggies super simple, would like to see the depth gauge improved. If the square could just sit on top of the soil instead of having to be pressed into it and have the depth gauge account for the height then of the square so depth of planting is more accurate, would be awesome.

Love this seeding square. I saw it on a YouTube channel, but didn’t order for awhile because was pretty expensive I thought. I am SO happy I purchased it. Just press a bit into the ground of my raised bed, and easily helps me space the seeds by color on the square. Then pick it up, and cover those seeds. Easy peasy.

Bought one for ourselves and family next door with twins 7 years. Can’t say enough about this product as a stand alone and a great companion to the book: Square Foot Gardening With Kids. Looking forward to making the most of tiny and large gardening projects.

I never understood videos showing people just dropping all their seed packet in a small 2 foot section trench of their gardens then removing like 80 % of the sprouted seeds to thin out. With this square, you can drop in 1 seed or 2 if you prefer and then wait for it to sprout. This saves so much in seeds it’s amazing and the plants are perfectly spaced. I started late carrots, 2 inches apart and they look nice and orderly.
Color coded slots and a handy spacing chart are a great addon.

I read a bunch of positive reviews and thought I’d give it a try. True to its word, makes planting easier and I dare say fun. I totally love it and will be using as my go to tool. Planting guide is good and the material it’s made from are good and sturdy. I highly recommend it.

I planted my new garden poorly. I left a little space for lettuce. Co-worker suggested this.

Planted 3 feet with the correct holes and got more lettuce perfectly spaced than I could imagine!

The depth stick is a nice addition, and the chart makes it easy.

Worth it!

At first I thought this would be a waste of money that I couldn’t justify. But I am doing square foot gardening with a toddler. I don’t have time to set up a grid on my own. I’m gardening in a community garden so I can’t add on to the garden bed either. Decided it would be worth it to be able to space my plants quickly and easily before the toddler could get into too much trouble. Works wonderfully and it’s a total time saver. I have used it over and over as I replant as well. Would absolutely recommend.

I actually ran out of seeds, and of course I had to thin them, but I’ve never had such a pretty bed of beans. I used it for the pepper starts too. I will plant a little differently next year to avoid having to thin the seedlings, but at least they will be evenly spaced. Nice product.

I absolutely love this heavy duty garden tool and have used it for several years now. We do the squarefoot garden method and this is seeding square is such a help. I like that the reference chart is laminated too. The funnel helps direct the seeds where you poke the holes. This is especially helpful on windy days or days where the wind is random and you are trying to plant carrots! I love the fact that it is also color coded so you know how to space your seeds. This corresponds to the chart as well. I think this would be helpful even if you do not follow the square foot method. Just having this tool for spacing is worth the purchase.

Now that we are well into gardening season, I can’t say enough good things about this seed square. I’m a new gardener and this tool has made my novice efforts so much better. I have a squarefoot garden so it’s perfect. The color coding on this tray works wonderfully with all the planning and strategy for the squarefoot garden. The color coding was my favorite characteristic of this tool because if a vegetable calls for a specific number of plants per square foot, you can easily look to see which spacing (aka color) is best suited for it. It’s simple enough that my daughters can help and it adds a fun element to planting. It comes with a dibber and funnel too. The dibber fits perfectly into the marked holes while the funnel is attached. It has measurements on the side to poke holes the proper depth. It also has a seed scoop on the opposite end of the dibber which made it much easier to work with smaller seeds. The funnel turned out to be very useful as well. It’s easy to lose seeds, so it’s nice that they fell right in to where they needed to go.

New and experienced gardeners may find a “soil blocker” useful as well for your inside spring starters. It’s a contraption that punches your moist soil into cubes. There’s different size blocks you can get. The one I found had dibber attachments so it prepped the blocks perfectly. It prevents your plants from getting root bound in their containers during the early germination phase because you don’t put them in containers. I put the soil blocks in trays under grow lights and bottom watered. Just search “soil blocker”.

This square foot seed guide is easy to use, has a visual guide to help you choose the right place to plant seeds. It also contains an orange plastic stick that has measured marks to help plant the seeds at proper depth with a small scoop at one end and a small funnel. All in all a nice, easy guide for maximizing small spaces.

Did not know what to expect but when it came it was awesome, easy, well thought out and designed to include everything you need for seed planting/spacing. I love that it comes with a cheatsheet in both English and French. If you like planting seeds this is a lot of fun and practical. If you are the type to just throw seeds in the ground then maybe this won’t seem as exciting to you. But there is a real reason most planting instructions stipulate spacing. This handy device does that and more. Nice job/design and creativity.

A color-coded chart seed/plant type spacing guide is included that is to be cross-referenced to the colored circles on the square. This only include the most common vegetables/herbs, so I had to take a guess for the swiss chard I wanted to plant. The orange depth guide is handy, but it only has 1″ markings and I have come across seeds that only require 1/4 to 1/2″ planting depth, so back to eyeballing again for that task or adding them with a permanent marking. I didn’t use the little funnel at all.

So I decided I wanted to start growing vegetables with really no idea what I was doing . Looking online all the information is so in depth it becomes over whelming. The seed square was exactly what my inpatient self needed . The square itself is beneficial but the informational card they provided told me what plants required which color coded spacing . The seed tool was somewhat helpful as I was under the impression it held all the seeds but it is just a small spoon like object. Cool thing is the spoon like object has a ruler on it so you know the depth of the holes . It was really helpful especially for people like me who reads nothing and assumes .

That said, I had to mark it down a little bit as it is made in CHINA. I did my research trying to avoid a Chinese made product, but couldn’t find one quite like this. The funnel and poker are not necessarily needed (if they get lost don’t panic), but the printed planted guide that explains the corresponding circles is exquisite. I just came in from planting and know that I will be increasing my yield this year, which pays for the square. It would be simple to create a template, but the sturdy plastic and planting guide would need to beefed up. I’m off to an office supply store to make colored copies of the guide!

Arrived promptly. My 8 x 4 ft raised bed was marked out with string (square foot gardening method) and some of the string had rotted away so I was going to have to sort that out. When I saw this seeding square it was a god send. I ordered it immediately, even though it was a bit pricey. Very simple and easy to use. Definitely would recommend.

Great product for square foot gardening/high density planing. Seems expensive but it will last for years. I like the way you can tell the weeds from the seedlings easily because of the patterns and I love how neat everything looks. Definitely speeds up seeding and removes all guesswork. I use it to mark spacing for my plug plants too. My neighbour borrowed mine this year and she loved it too. One thing to note is that if you dont have a layer of fine soil/compost on top of your bed it wont work as well, particularly for smaller seeds. Its definitely worth preparing the bed well by raking it level and removing any clumps or stones and possibly adding a light layer of fine compost.

I heard about this product in a gardening group on Facebook. A few people raved about it, others complained about the price tag. But I was curious. I’d been putting in various gardens (perennials, annuals, planters) at my new home for the past year and had just installed 280 feet of raised veggie beds that needed planted. I was tired of dragging a tape measure around with me. So I thought I’d give it a try.

First off I’d like to say I think this product is really well suited to “raised vegetable bed gardening” and to two particular groups of people — those who are brand new to gardening and really haven’t gotten a good sense of proper plant spacing, and us old-timers with bad knees and aching backs who just want to make the planting process as fast as possible so we can go inside and take an advil, LOL. If you are a super-sturdy 35 year old who has been gardening for a few years you might think this product is unnecessary. But for those who are just learning, or who are teaching kids, or who are starting to having some issues gardening without pain, this thing is a great tool. With a few caveats.

You can probably use this in garden beds for flowers, etc., but I don’t see that being as useful as in raised veggie beds where squares and rows work the best. A few problems I encountered were lumpy dirt, loose dirt, and the poker product that comes with it for making the holes have a few issues. Here are some tips for making this work better for you:

1) Level the section you are about to plant as perfectly as possible before starting. Remove any lumping soil as it will prevent you from getting the square to lay down nicely.

2) WET your soil with a hose before starting. Not soaking wet (you don’t want mud), but enough so that when you press this into the soil you can see your squares. If your soil is too dry you don’t see the marks you are making.

3) The orange “poker” stick that is supposed to make the holes is kind of a mixed bag. A lot of seeds only want to be planted 1/4″ or 1/2″ down, but if you press the poker only 1/4″ into the soil thru the template, a lot of times you can’t see where your holes are. So I learned to just make the biggest holes I could then go back and rub the soil where the holes are to the proper depth. So I didn’t really use the poker to measure so much as I did just to make the holes. You’ll see what I mean when you use the product.

Otherwise, highly recommend. Saved me a TON of time planting the corn patch and some other things!!

This is fun! There’s a few tricks to using it (making sure your soil is level, and definitely not damp!) and I know once I’m more experienced at square foot gardening it’ll probably be redundant, but starting in to this gardening technique as a newbie I love the square! It’s easy to use (I was using twine and pegs and a ruler before I found this, what a hassle!) and I actually really love the seed scoop on the end of the depth peg. It’s really satisfying to see the garden come together so quickly, and my seedlings that are coming up look so nicely spaced out that I don’t have to waste many seeds when I thin them out. The colour coded holes are super handy too.
Downsides: to be honest I really don’t use the funnel, and you have to develop your own tricks for covering the seed in the holes you’ve punched. (My soil is heavy and doesn’t naturally fill back in over the seeds—my favourite technique so far is taking my conditioned newly mixed soil and dropping it on top of the square while it’s still in the ground and after my seeds have been inserted. I then rub off the dirt to clear the square and it all falls into the garden conveniently covering my seeds.)

I’d also suggest a change or examination over their planting guide. Double check your seed packets, and if you combine this with vertical trellises or cages or posts you can actually fit some of those “requires up to 4 sq. Ft” plants into less space. (Shout out to all you city gardeners who want higher yields with the minimal garden space you have!) I’d also recommend relay planting with plants of different maturity rates in the same square.

Excellent product. I have bought 4 of these seeding square’s as I belong to a gardening group, to give confidence to people who want to learn how to grow their own veg. This product takes the guess work out of how deep or at what space should I plant the seeds. I highly recommend these seeding square’s for square foot gardening.

I can’t wait to use this with my kids! I ordered this so hopefully come spring me and the kids will be out their planting for the summer, I really want the kids to get into growing their own and this looks great. It looks simple to use and great for us as we don’t have a large area to plant in. A great buy!
