What is a Seed Planter?
A seed planter is not only used in large scale gardening it is also used by Hobby Gardeners. There are many different types of seed planters. There are some that look like small round tubs that are used for very small seeds such as carrots and then the most common one used by Hobby Gardeners is a small wheel with a handle which you push down the row you have opened with a rake or hoe that spaces the seeds are the correct spacing. There is a small dial on the wheel and you select the type of seed you are planting then the holes in the wheel that the seeds come out of are at the correct spacing for the seed type that you are planting. They are a good devise for anyone who maybe has problems with their fingers or those with problems bending or kneeling down to hand plant.

A seed planter is a tool used in landscaping to spread seeds over a certain area. In small-scale landscaping and gardening, a hand-operated seed planter can be used. In large farming operations a planter can be a massive device, usually attached to the back of a tractor. Seed planters can work one of two ways. Some will actually make a small hole in the ground and lay the seed in, then cover the hole and seed back up. This is usually done in a single pass. Others will simply spread the seed out on the ground, where it will eventually take root by itself. This is most commonly done with grass varieties and sometimes done with a fertilizer spreader, rather than a true planter. The main benefit to a seed planter is its ability to save a tremendous amount of time and keep the rows spaced evenly in a garden or a farm field. For those planters pushed by hand, there is usually a guide offset from the planting wheel that will mark out the next row, allowing the user to keep neatly spaced rows.
