QUESTIONS & ANSWERS
Ask a Question-
I used to grow tobacco. I used a vacuum type seeder to place the seed in the tobacco trays. Now, I am looking for a vacuum type seeder to seed tobacco trays with cabbage seeds. Can you assist me?
We do not sell a vacuum seeder. We do have a drop seeder that can be used for seeding cabbage. Please note that our drop seeder plates are designed to work with our cell tray dimensions.

Is their seeder compatible with Rockwool plug sheet 1”x1” 10x20 sheet - 200 holes per sheet - on “ centers
The seeder was specificially designed to fit our cell trays and we haven't tested it with Rockwool plug sheets. It would be nice if it would work however I think it would be pretty hard to match-up. The drop may be a bit too far for it to be feasible causing the seeds to bounce out.

How do you prevent multiple seeds from filling one hole?
Here are a few things that can be done to help.
Using a dryer sheet to discharge the static electricity. Making sure the seed plate is appropriately sized. If the holes are too large you will get multiple seeds per hole. If it is sized approprialty only one seed will fit in the hole. Also you don't want to over fill the hopper with seeds in the drop seeder. -
