DIY carrot seeder from a syringe

The small size of the seeds causes certain difficulties when planting carrots; there is a risk of uneven consumption of the contents of the bag with a beautiful picture of a carrot on the cover. If you planned to plant this tasty vegetable along the entire length of the prepared bed, then if planted unevenly, the seeds end up in exactly half of the planned area. After the growth of uneven seedlings, it is necessary to further thin out the thickened planting, and some of the seedlings will simply go to waste. If this is not done, the carrot harvest will not resemble the luxurious beauty from the cover of the seed bag, which still needs to be purchased, but will look like ugly, unsightly pods.

Carrot seeder - an overview of ready-made and home-made devices

Not a single garden can do without healthy carrots.
If a person has a garden, then he tries to grow his own products in it. This is correct, because only by planting crops with our own hands can we be sure of their quality and usefulness. The work of a summer resident cannot be called simple; during the season you need to do a lot of different things, without which you cannot get a harvest. To make your work easier, you can use different devices - a carrot seeder is a good example of this. You can buy it in a store, or make it yourself, there are many options and let’s get to know them.

This is interesting! Nowadays, there are more than 60 varieties of orange root vegetables; its homeland is the original Afghanistan. Europeans learned about carrots around the 10th century.

Advantages and disadvantages of the device

A planting cone has many advantages over the conventional seating method. Its main advantages are listed below.

It saves not only the gardener’s energy, but also precious time. The work goes many times faster than with the classical method.
Creates neat holes in the ground intended for planting pre-prepared seedlings in them.
Easily determines the required depth of the hole (if the planting cone for seedlings is equipped with a special scale).
Helps avoid the hassle of dirty hands. The convenient holder keeps your hands clean. This is great news not only for women, but also for men, because sometimes it can be very difficult to remove accumulated dirt under the nails.

These are not all the positive qualities of the assistant device. The list can be completed by the person who has tried this tool in practice at least once.

If we are talking about the features of the device, then it is worth pointing out the disadvantages:

Low height (to make a hole, you have to bend low, squat down or put your knees on the ground).
Short-lived material (a device made of stainless steel will not be able to cope with heavy soil, especially after heavy and prolonged rain, so it is made of light types of steel).

If working on all fours doesn’t scare you, and the advantages of the landing cone are impressive, then hurry up to buy the device in the store or make it yourself

What should you pay attention to when purchasing this tool? Let's find out

Store options for seeders

Syringe

A fairly simple and accessible device for everyone. As you can see in the photo, the syringe has a transparent cylinder where carrot seeds are placed, and a rod that pushes them through a special hole in the base. This device is sold in gardening stores and hardware stores. Convenient, simple. The price, depending on the region, is about 100-150 rubles.

The second option, which has long won respect among summer residents, is a seeder for sowing carrots, which is shown in the photo below. The principle is the same as that of a syringe - the seeds are placed in a barrel, and then pressed into rows in the garden using a rod and a spring. Very budget-friendly - up to 100 rubles and a simple option. But these two planters are suitable for small areas that can be planted by hand without much difficulty. But if you need to sow a large area in the garden, then you will have to purchase more serious units, more on them later.

Roller seeder

Convenient, technically simple device. Our country produces videos as well as foreign analogues. The price of the Russian unit is 200-250 rubles. You can buy such a device in garden stores and online stores. The principle of operation is elementary - the round body opens, the seeds are poured in, the lid closes. After that, the handle-handle is inserted and sowing is done in the rows that were made in advance.

The big advantage of such a roller is that you don’t need to bend over, as is the case with the first two devices, because you can even make a handle with your own hands and to suit the required height. The roller makes it possible to easily sow a large garden, but if you have an impressive area, then the units described below are suitable for you. But it is worth noting that we will be talking about seeders for small-family crops, which are suitable specifically for manual work in the garden, and not about complex machines with many attachments for fields like walk-behind tractors.

On a note! Another advantage of this roller seeder is that it is suitable for sowing not only carrots, but also other vegetables, herbs and even peas.

Precision seeder

Such devices are perfect for carrots, beets, peas and other crops. Yes, they already cost an order of magnitude more, but they also make the work much easier. Again, such units can have a complex design, a simple one, differ in size, functionality, or be from our manufacturers or foreign ones. This affects the cost. See below for examples of commonly used seeders and their photos.

Precision seeding units:

SOR-1/1. Seeder from , single-row. It can have a different design - either sowing using a brush mechanism, or using a sleeve mechanism. Quite an inexpensive option - up to 3 thousand rubles. The grain basket holds quite a lot of seeds. It can sow different crops, for which the bushings that come with the kit are changed;
1001-B. This seeder is already from, which is located in America. The option is compact, light - up to 4 kg, can plant different crops and medicinal herbs, sowing depth is adjusted. The set includes six discs that can be changed and make it possible to plant 28 crops, including vegetables and herbs. The price of the unit is more expensive - up to 7-8 thousand;
Seeder SMK-1. Again from, a good unit that you can simply attach to the cutting and then control it. Price – up to 1000 rubles. The mechanism has brushes and a shaft, sowing is carried out in one row. If your area is large, then you can purchase another modification - the SMK-5 seeder is five-row, sows crops to a width of 6 cm, SMK-2 is a two-row. The width can be adjusted from 6 to 24 cm. Pour the seeds into the container and sow, everything is quite simple, but at the same time effective;
AL-KO US 45. A very good option for a precision seeder for both carrots and other crops and for spreading fertilizers. It costs no more than 2 thousand rubles, you can order it on the Internet. A German unit, convenient in that it has a 22-liter tank, where you can pour a lot of seeds and fertilizers, as well as a handle that is easy to hold with two hands.

Of course, there are very, very many seeders, each company has its own, but the principle of operation is largely similar, the efficiency is the same, only the cost can differ many times. If you have a large or small garden next to a private house or in a country house, then these seeders are perfect, they won’t take up much space and won’t require special skills. Well, we’re moving on to the second part, and these will be life hacks on how to make simple devices for sowing small-seeded crops with your own hands and at no cost.

On a note! Nowadays, there is a special adhesive tape on sale, on which the seeds are already applied at the required distance. It just needs to be buried in rows, sprinkled with soil and watered, as with regular sowing.

Mini greenhouses

Mini-greenhouses are small boxes no more than 60 cm long. They differ from ordinary seedling boxes by the presence of a lid. It can be made of glass or plastic, but in any case it maintains a certain microclimate (humidity, temperature and other indicators) inside the greenhouse.

Mini greenhouses

Very often, in mini-greenhouses, instead of a box, there is a cassette with a tray.

For example, the DUO greenhouse uses an 18-cell cassette. The package contains 2 mini-greenhouses, i.e. it is enough for 36 plants.

The Hobby House greenhouse holds the same number of cells, only there is one in the package, and the dimensions are different: 36x22 cm instead of 47x16.

Romberg mini-greenhouses are especially popular among gardeners. Models “Alexander”, “Marco”, “James”, “Nino” and “Charles” with a special bottom design allow soil and water to be evenly distributed. Ventilation holes located on the sides and on the lid help prevent excess moisture. The “Maria”, “Cleopatra”, “Jean” sets are supplemented with coconut or peat tablets (pots). This pleasure costs 300-350 rubles.

Jiffi greenhouses also use peat humus tablets.

DIY carrot seeders

Plastic bottle

This is the most common garden device for sowing small seeds. Take a 1.5 liter bottle, unscrew the cap, make a hole. This can be done using a screwdriver. We insert a juice tube here and secure it at the base with thread or tape. Mix the seeds with sand so that they do not fall thickly and at the same time there is drainage. We sow in rows and water.

Paste and bottle

This is the second version of a manual seeder for carrots, which you can do with your own hands and, again, from a bottle. We also make a hole in the lid, but without a tube. Cook a sticky mass from a liter of water and a spoon of flour. Pour the seeds here and mix them thoroughly. Pour into a bottle and plant. The nutrient mass will distribute the seeds so that minimal picking is needed.

Tools to make carrot planting easier

One of the main secrets of growing carrots is properly sown seed material. If planting in beds is continuous, this will not only lead to wasteful use of seedlings, but will also provoke the appearance of dense shoots, therefore, labor-intensive work will be required to remove weak shoots. To make it easier to sow small seeds, there are devices for planting carrots, which you can buy at specialized retail outlets or make yourself. They promote good germination of seedlings and make them easier to care for.

Types of seeders

A device for growing carrots allows you to sow large areas in a short time. Planting material is distributed evenly, placed at the same depth, the optimal distance from each other is maintained, which eliminates the process of thinning the plantings. Devices for sowing carrots do not cause any difficulties in operation; even a novice gardener can handle them. There are several types of such devices.

Syringe

The invention is incredibly simple and accessible. It is a transparent cylinder into which small carrot seeds are placed. By pressing the rod, the seedlings are pushed through a special hole in the base. This is a convenient and easy to use device.

Carrot seeder (planter)

The operating principle of this device is the same as that of a syringe. The seeds placed in the barrel are pressed using a rod and a spring into prepared, even grooves in the garden bed. These devices cost between 100-150 rubles. Such a seeder for carrots will be relevant in small gardens, but for sowing large areas it is better to use more powerful units.

Roller seeder

The device is positioned as a convenient and technically simple device for sowing carrots. The principle of its operation comes down to filling the round body with planting material, installing the handle-handle and sowing in pre-made rows. The main advantage is the ability to sow carrots without bending to the ground, which cannot be said when working with the first two options of seeders. In addition, the handle can be adjusted to a specific height by doing it yourself. Using a roller seeder is good not only for sowing carrots, but also for other small-seeded crops.

Precision seeding unit

Seeders come in different designs, sizes, and differ in functionality, which directly affects their cost. Among the most popular models are:

SOR-1/1 from . This single-row unit is available in two versions. One sows using a brush mechanism, the other - using a sleeve mechanism. The grain container is quite spacious. Thanks to the set of bushings that come with the kit, you can sow different crops. After application, there is no need to thin out the seedlings.
1001-B from Earthway. The device has compact dimensions, weighs about 4 kg, and is used for sowing large areas. The unit is convenient to use for planting crops and medicinal herbs, and the depth can be adjusted. The device is equipped with 6 discs, which makes it possible to sow 28 types of plants.
SMK-1 from . Simply attach the device to the cutting and you can use it. The unit has brushes and a shaft; crops are planted in one row. To sow large areas, it is better to purchase a seeder of a different modification - SMK-5 five-row, the width between rows is 6 cm. If you use a two-row SMK-2, the width can be adjusted from 6 to 24 cm. The device works very simply: the seeds are poured into the tank and sowing is carried out .
AL-KO US 45. The German device is designed for spreading fertilizers and sowing small-seeded crops. The container capacity is 22 liters, which is very effective for working on large farms. Another advantage of the seeder is the comfortable handle, which you can hold with both hands.

Types and benefits of using a carrot seeder

Seeders made for manual sowing are divided into several types:

Fertilizers - recommended to simplify the process of fertilizing or distributing lime throughout the territory;
Garden - designed for sowing seeds for agricultural needs in areas near the house or vegetable gardens;
Grain-cereals - provide for planting over vast areas - in grain fields.

A simple seeder can be made from scrap materials without spending much money. But all simple devices are made only for the hole, that is, adjusting the required volume of the hole is often problematic or almost impossible.

The advantages of such a device are:

Uniform sowing of planting material;
Placement at the same depth ;
Equal distance between plantings;
Easy to use;
Ease of creation.

With the help of such a unit you can quickly and in a short time plant a large area. After working with a carrot seeder, you will not have to pull out excess seedlings, injuring those that remain for further growth.

Manual seed planter

This type of planting technology is used over vast areas. It is able to create even grooves and place an even amount of seeds in them. It can be used not only for sowing carrots, but also beets, onions, parsley, lettuce or other small seeds.

Manual carrot seeder

The groove is made through the movement of a wheel on which special blades or spikes are located. With these growths, the wheel creates holes of a certain size with the same depth.

The design of the seeder is such that a spout comes from the hopper, through which a certain volume of seeds is sown. The supply of seedlings is strictly regulated by a special valve.

At the back there is an additional wheel with a smooth surface, which, when moving, fills and compacts holes with planting material.

Piston

A piston carrot seeder looks like a cylindrical plastic container. Planting material is placed in it. At the bottom there is an adjustable conical hole for sowing seedlings into the soil. On top of this device there is a piston equipped with a spring.

Piston Carrot Planter

This unit works on the principle of squeezing a certain amount into a pre-prepared hole in the ground. To prevent seedlings from scattering in different directions, a piston seeder is placed 5 cm above ground level.

Some farmers consider the piston planter to be a problematic device, and replace it with an ordinary medical syringe. But working with a syringe causes a lot of inconvenience:

When squeezing out seeds, they often scatter in different directions ;
The pressure on the syringe cannot be controlled, so the seeds fall out in different volumes.

The piston planting system is designed for large areas, but with a syringe you can’t sow much. Therefore, it is better to use a piston with spring pressure.

Funnel-shaped

One of the simplest mechanisms is a large dispenser with a miniature “spout”. The cone, which goes into the ground, has a hole, the volume of which can be adjusted by the diaphragm located inside.

The funnel is placed above the soil surface at a height of up to 15 cm and the preparation is gently shaken . The seeds, rolling out along the groove, are evenly placed in the furrow.

Using such a funnel-bowl, it is possible to achieve correct, even furrows, without being thickened with an excessive amount of seeds.

The disadvantage is the need to adapt or adapt to such work . If you shake frequently or vigorously, you can plant the seeds not in the furrow at all, but around the entire area.

Carrot planter made from a block

This planting method is similar to the egg tray method. To make a planter from a block, you will need several plastic lids and a wooden block. Its dimensions can be arbitrary, but it is better to stick to the proven volume of a wooden board - 5x5x50 cm .

The lids are nailed on one side. The soil needs to be loosened well so that it is airy and soft. The top layer of soil is leveled evenly. The side with the lids is lowered into the soil and pressed . After the block is raised above the surface, even holes remain in the soil substrate for planting carrot seeds. All that remains is to insert the prepared seedlings and sprinkle.

Mini rake for planting seeds

Raking for planting is easy to do if you have previously had experience with a hacksaw or jigsaw. For the prepared bed, you should select a long board so that it completely covers the area.

Also, to produce a rake you will need a block of wood up to 20 cm long - this will be the handle.

Homemade rake for planting carrot seeds

The bottom side (end) must be cut. Peculiar teeth in the shape of a trapezoid are cut out on it, so that the lower base is no more than 1 cm, and the depth reaches 2 cm. A handle is placed in the center on the flat side. This can be done using a nail. The work on the mini rake is finished.

To perform sowing, you need to lower an improvised rake onto the dug up, airy area and move it around the perimeter. In an instant, smooth grooves are formed on the site into which planting material must be placed.

How to make it yourself

You can make a mechanical device for sowing small-seeded crops from metal, having previously prepared all the necessary tools and a drawing. This will be a prototype with a similar design to the factory units. During the pushing process, the wheels begin to rotate, and along with them, the shaft is set in motion, performing the function of a dispenser. Due to the grooves located on the shaft, the seeds are distributed. When the shaft rotates around its axis, it takes the norm out of the tank.

As the brush passes, excess seedlings are removed from the recesses, leaving only one seed. When the wheels and shaft are subsequently rotated, they fall directly into a row.

The advantage of a hand-made carrot seeder is the ability to sow different crops. This is achieved by arranging recesses of various diameters in a checkerboard pattern.

Materials and tools

To make a manual carrot seeder, you need to prepare:

Sheet of steel (thickness 1.5 mm).
Hacksaw.
Soldering tool, hard solder.
Bushings.
A strip of steel for the slider (1 mm thick).
Metal plate (thickness 0.1 mm).
Brass rod with a cross section of 15 mm.
Nut with an internal thread diameter of 8 mm.
Steel rod (section 18 mm).
Bushings with a cross section of 1 mm.
Power tool.
Wooden handle.

Working drawing

A homemade carrot planter will not only reduce time and labor costs for sowing crops, but it will also be easier to assemble if you follow the drawing. All manufacturing difficulties come down to the ability to competently cut metal and process elements of a homemade device

Manufacturing process

Technology for assembling a hand-held device from metal:

Cut out all the elements from a 1.5 mm thick sheet: tank walls, wheel rims and other parts.
Solder the components of the case along the lines.
Solder the sliding supports into the holes of the side elements.
Leave the smallest gap between the shaft and the back wall.
Solder the sleeve for arranging the handle on the outside on the front wall, and mount a bracket for fasteners with a threaded hole on top on the inside in the upper part. For the slider guide, it should be arranged at the bottom.
The slider is made of a steel strip (1 mm), it is adjusted in accordance with the diagram. The brush is soldered to the part; it is made from a thin strip.
The adjustment nut must be made on a brass lathe.
Make a shaft with grooves (45 degrees on both sides) from a steel rod with a cross-section of 18 mm.
For carrots, it is enough to make 6-8 recesses with a diameter of up to 0.4 mm on the shaft. If large-seeded crops are sown, this diameter should be 0.6 mm. The optimal step between rows is 20 mm, the recesses should be made in a checkerboard pattern.
Cut the wheel rims with a hacksaw. You should act towards the center in areas along the center line of the holes, the diameter of which is 10 mm. There should be 12 cuts. To bend the petal, use pliers, the bend should be outward.
Cut hubs from metal (1 mm), bend them and solder them into the holes of disks with a diameter of 20 mm.
The assembly of the device is carried out according to the following principle: the body is put on the shaft, then the wheels, parts are fixed and a wooden handle is installed.

Basic rules and criteria for choosing a finished model

If you can’t make a planter with your own hands for various reasons, you can purchase it at any construction market. However, when choosing a model, you should pay attention to such aspects.

Productivity . The most effective devices are those with a trailed operating system, since they allow you to process a fairly large area of land. For sowing in small areas, it is more advisable to use manual units.
Weight . Manual seeders are the lightest, which greatly simplifies the work process and does not overload the farmer. Towed devices carry the heaviest weight, and you need to get used to working with them.
Functionality . Trailed devices have the richest functionality, which can be used not only for sowing seeds, but also for cultivating, loosening the soil, applying fertilizers, etc. Manual units are considered less functional.
Adjustment options . Typically, the simplest manual models cannot compete with automated devices in terms of adjusting furrow depth and row width. Trailed planters are equipped with a function for adjusting these parameters, and also make it possible to change the size of the hole in the seed container, which significantly expands the range of seeds sown.

Today, manufacturers offer consumers a huge range of seeders that have excellent functionality, practicality and a long service life. Among the models that are popular with farmers are precision seeding devices “SOR-1/1”, “1001-V”, “SMK-1”, pneumatic models made in China and Poland, and trailing mechanisms made in China, Ukraine, and America.

Carrot seeder

Why do you need a small seed seeder?

To get rid of such difficulties, amateur gardeners have come up with a device for planting carrots, with which you can evenly plant small seeds, then carrot sprouts will appear from the ground at the same distance from each other. Planting carrots using a seeder creates excellent conditions for the ripening of the crop, because as they grow, the root crops will increase in size and, when fully ripe, will not interfere with each other. In addition, uniform planting of seeds with a seeder makes it much easier to grow this tasty vegetable, weed carrots and loosen the soil without the risk of damaging the plant.

The carrot seeder greatly simplifies the planting of small vegetable seeds

It is advisable to mulch a bed with grown root crops with grass or compost. You can even lightly hill up the plant and sprinkle the root crop with soil. This simple step will prevent the formation of green tips on the edges of the carrots.

Rules for planting carrots

The carrot seeder makes it possible to sow seeds in pre-prepared shallow grooves, at an even distance of 1.5 to 2.0 cm from each other. The recommended distance between the rows should be from 15 to 20 cm. For industrial planting, carrots are best planted in the form of double rows with a distance between them of up to 20 cm and a wide row spacing of 40 to 50 cm. It is recommended to place the rows perpendicular to the long side of the bed, for convenient subsequent plant care.

Types of carrot seed drills

It’s easy to make your own carrot seeder

An excellent help for gardeners, greatly facilitating their hard work, will be the use of such a simple device as a manual seeder for carrots and other small seeds. Using seeders when planting small seeds gives excellent results:

Uniform and economical planting of planting materials;
The seeder ensures that seeds are planted at the same depth;
Equal distance between future shoots;
Simplicity and ease of use;
Possibility of assembling a seeder from scrap materials with your own hands.

Using a manual carrot sowing tool, you can sow small seeds of vegetable crops such as carrots and beets in a short time and over a wide area. After the emergence of seedlings, there will be no need to remove thickened excess plants and injure the remaining seedlings.

If you show a little imagination and carefully look at various simple seeders, it is not difficult to make a device for planting carrots and other crops with your own hands.

Planting carrot seeds with a manual piston planter

According to the popularity rating, we can name the following seeders that occupy leading places in the top:

Manual carrot planter. Using this device, smooth, shallow grooves are created into which any small vegetable seeds can be sown. The device is equipped with a special wheel with spikes or metal blades, which press even, identical holes into the soil. The design of the seeder includes a hopper with a spout and an adjustable valve responsible for supplying seeds from the hopper. The second smaller wheel performs the function of filling the seeds with soil and compacting it;
Syringe. The simplest seeder is a small plastic container with a dispenser located at the bottom. When the piston is pressed, a hole opens at the bottom through which small seeds fall into the soil. This device can be purchased at almost all gardening stores. Some home craftsmen make a planter with a piston with their own hands. Instead of a purchased piston seeder, many summer residents and gardeners use an ordinary medical syringe. Unfortunately, this alternative type of replacement brings a number of inconveniences: seeds scattering in different directions from the furrow, as well as difficulties in equal dosing of seed material;
Funnel. The simplest carrot seed seeder is a large plastic dispenser with a miniature spout and a funnel-shaped cone with a hole at the bottom, closed by an adjustable diaphragm. Place the device at a slight angle to the soil and shake lightly. The seeds roll down the inclined groove of the seeder and evenly fall into the grooves prepared in advance. With a certain skill, correctly located even grooves are obtained.

In addition to the most popular manual carrot seeders listed, summer residents and gardeners use other planting methods: paste the seeds onto paper, use an egg tray as a template for planting, use special mini-rakes and many other methods and methods.

Carrots planted with a seeder do not need thinning

What is a carrot planter

A seed seeder is a special mechanical device, which, due to its design features, makes it possible to quickly and efficiently sow seed along a given trajectory.

The operating principle of such a device is quite simple:

blades or special spikes are installed on the front part of the unit, with the help of which furrows of the required size will be formed;
Along the width of the seeder, at a certain distance from each other, containers for seed material are installed;
a hole is made at the bottom of such containers through which the required amount of seeds falls out, that is, into the soil;
a smooth wheel attached to the unit fills the furrows and levels the soil.

The vegetable seeder has a number of undeniable advantages, which include:
acceleration of the process of sowing seed material;
rational consumption of seeds;
precision seeding, which makes it possible to simplify the care of seedlings in the future;
simplicity and ease of use;
no need to thin out seedlings.

Using the described device, it is possible to process a large area in a short period of time.

Carrot seeder in the form of a mini tractor

If a dacha or garden plot has a large area on which it is planned to plant a significant amount of vegetable crops, and the owner of the dacha plot has “golden hands”, then in this case it is best to plant seeds with a homemade device in the form of a tractor, assembled with your own hands. At the beginning of the work, sketches and drawings are drawn up with the individual design of the seeder. You will also need the following parts: a metal axle, aluminum tubes, wheels and a piece of sheet iron.

The simplest tractor seeder

This minimal set of simple parts allows you to manually create a real mini-tractor for planting seeds.

Algorithm of actions:

Aluminum hollow tubes need to be turned into comfortable handles;
The loading hopper is made of sheet iron in the form of a cone or funnel and is located on the axis at a distance of 1 cm;
Each cone has a sharp end going down. At the bottom of the cone there is a hole measuring 0.1 cm in width;
The central main axle is attached to the wheels, the manufactured seed hoppers are placed on top of the axle with handles;
You can even install a limiter for marking rows.

Main types and advantages of using a carrot seeder

Today, farmers have access to a wide selection of different planters, differing in size, operating principle, materials, etc. A description of the most common ones is given later in the article.

Manual planter

One of the simplest mechanical devices for large-scale sowing of seeds is considered to be a manual planter, which makes it possible to make uniform furrows and evenly “lay” a certain number of seeds into them. A similar unit can be used for sowing carrots, onions, beets, parsley, lettuce, spinach and other small seeds.

The manual planter operates according to the following principle:

special blades and spikes are mounted on the wheel, which, when it moves, create holes of a certain, uniform depth;
A bunker is installed in the middle of the device, into which seed material is poured;
from the bunker there is a so-called “spout”, through which seeds are supplied evenly, with strict adjustment by a special valve;
the rear wheel, in the direction of travel, fills the furrows with soil and compacts the soil.

Some models of hand planters can be equipped with several rows of blades for sowing seeds simultaneously in several furrows. They can also be supplemented with a function for adjusting the planting depth.

Video: Manual planter for carrots and vegetables

Piston seed planter

The piston type of seeders is a design consisting of a small plastic cylindrical container (glass) intended for laying seed material, and a small piston inside it, equipped with a spring. In this case, the supply of seeds is carried out by pressing the rod and squeezing out a certain amount of them “under pressure”.

The advantages of a piston installation are:
the ability to cultivate a large part of the territory;
high efficiency when supplying seeds;
ease of operation.

However, many farmers note a number of disadvantages of the unit:
uneven “squeezing out” of seed material;
inability to form an even hole;
the need for further thinning of seedlings.

Funnel planter

As a rule, a funnel-shaped planter is rarely used for sowing carrot seeds, since it is considered the best option for larger grains. It consists of a cone-funnel with a narrow spout through which seed material flows.

The funnel is placed above the ground, approximately 15 cm, and filled with seeds. Due to gentle shaking, the grains are uniformly rolled out along a special groove into the furrow. One of the disadvantages of the seeder is the difficulty in adjusting the amount of spilled seeds, as well as the need to thin out the sprouts.
