Bio Green Super Seeder

I have just taken delivery of mine, thinking, great put it together and lets get sowing before we get some rain. So I have been trying to assemble it correctly for the last 50 mins and still no great success. There are unclear instructions with the sower and on the packaging but nothing clear about the actual seed disc assemble. Very poor. No after sales instructions without joining their "club". After reading the previous comments I can see this going back. I will of course update this later.

I've used it to set peas easy to use

I hope it does what it says it will ....when spring comes I will know.

Does not work with smaller seeds like carrots. They get blocked between the disk and casing stopping the disc going round.

It does the job

Unless you are growing on a small commercial scale & have the optimum soil conditions specified, this is not likely to be a worthwhile purchase. Most of the seeds listed in the instructions are those that the average gardener will sow successionally, rather than in great long rows e.g. radishes, or will not sow in any numbers, full stop e.g. cucumbers. By the time you've finished fiddling around, changing seed discs (which effectively means disassembling / reassembling), putting in seeds, decanting seeds, you'll save little, if any, time & effort.In addition to that, the seeder has two design flaws. The optimum conditions are given as being loose soil & no stones. Flaw no.1 is that the handle is offset on the side of hopper, and not in the middle of the device. Trying to push through any rolling resistance means that the plastic axle bends alarmingly, and it tends to move away from the nice straight line you'd like to keep. Worse still, the clearance between the side of the hopper & the left wheel is only a millimetre or two. This means, never mind stones, ANY garden debris or just heavy soil will frequently pack up, catch soil, & jam the wheel. As the seed discs are mounted on the axle, if the wheel stops turning, the seeder stops working. You can forget trying to sow outside in March! In sowing a row of carrots, I was literally averaging about 1 foot of sowing before having to unjam the wheel.The principle is sound enough, and if you're sowing in drier, "optimum" soil e.g. in a polytunnel, & in sufficient quantites (long rows of carrots or onion seeds, for instance), it probably does work quite well. For the average gardener, even with a reasonably large veg plot or an allotment, it's probably best avoided.{edited 29/4/13: I tried it again this evening, sowing a row of carrots, the only seed this is good for that I sow in sufficient quantity at one time for it to be worthwhile. I did so at the further end of my veg patch, which has less debris in it, and of course the ground is somewhat drier now. The performance was a little better, but my comments remain the same. It's a nice idea, but badly designed and not worthwhile for the average gardener.}{edited 17/4/14: My neighbour has just borrowed this. Well, not so much borrowed as "have it, I won't use it again." He found exactly the same problems that I did. Being more practically minded, he came up with a solution - he took a Stanley knife to the furrow-making extension at the bottom. Having cut that off, he has to make his own furrow, but the seeder seemingly works quite well in that fashion!}

Appears good. Not used yet. Easy to assemble. Grand and sturdy.

this is totally useless, it to weak and a waste of money
