Super Seed Dispensor (Drill)

Seed DrillSuper Seeder Drill

There have been a couple of discussions about seed drills on the forums and Wolf, who make good tools, do one  but it’s not officially sold in the UK. I even arranged to buy one for somebody when we were in France but the price had shot  up in the Bricomarche so I didn’t buy them.

Well the good news is that TwoWests have started stocking one and  at the moment they’re offering us £10.00 off their normal price., which brings it down to £24.85

It comes with a set of 5 plates to suit different seeds and you can select different sowing distances.

I think it will  save time if you’re sowing long rows and it should mean a more even distribution of seeds along the row, saving on thinning time. I hate thinning out, it always makes me sad  killing things that I’ve sown and got to germinate.

 I do pretty well with TwoWests in getting offers for the site, usually. This month I think we’ve got a smashing set.

Automatic Greenhouse Vent Opener

Greenhouse Automatic Vent OpenerSome time back I bought 3 greenhouse automatic vent openers.  The way our weather has been with July temperatures in April  they’ve been a life saver.  Considering they last for many years, I think they are a ‘must have’ with a greenhouse.

Usually I’m a total klutz with anything mechanical, but they only take a minute or two to fit.

The offer until the end of June is on the Bayliss MK7 which  is a better model than the type I got .  With £5.00 off the normal price of £32.95 they’re just costing £27.95. 

The other offers are:

  • £10.00 off a tank supplied greenhouse watering kit
  • £10.00 off a Fertiliser Spray Lance
  • £5.00 off a  deluxe watering can

Full details of all these offers are on the Allotment Shop Offers page . Please don’t forget to put the special code of T101 in at the checkout to get the offers.

How do I get hold of one of the super seeders at that price, and do you know if they can do broad beans and how quickly can it be delivered (I have about 500sq foot to plant and as the precission seeder we currantly have does not do broad beans, they get stuck in the shaft, I dont fancy having to do them by hand!!) I work for a farm shop, who are just setting up.

Hi Tammy I’m sorry that offer was back in June but the best price seems to be Dobiesl @ £29.95 now. Super Seeder Page

I just tried it with some broad beans (on the carpet because I’m not sowing until spring) and it seems fine. Best of luck with the new job and have a good growing season.

is the super-seeder-drill still available? if so where can i go to see one? i live in newport pagnell bucks.
like yourself i hate putting the seed into the soil and then when their germinated pull them out and throw them away, so what i would like to do is precision drill raw seed.i know it can be done with pelleted seed. what i would like to get is carrots 8 and 20 seeds per foot, onions 4 per foot.
