Seeding Square - Patented Seed and Seedling Spacer Tool for Bigger Harvests, Organized Plants & Fewer Weeds – Color-Coded Gardening Template with Magnetic Dibber, Ruler & Planting Guide

I can't recommend the Seeding Square tool highly enough – it's truly a game-changer! If you're gardening with young children, this tool is an absolute must-have.I've always been a fan of square foot gardening. Recently I have incorporated it into my work as a School Garden Coordinator. I work with seven elementary schools, delivering garden-based lessons and assisting with garden planting and maintenance. Square foot gardening is an excellent technique for maximizing produce yields across all of the uniquely sized school gardens. However, getting young students to accurately plant seeds using rulers has always been a challenge.I've experimented with various methods like twine grids, chopsticks, seed tape, and cardboard templates, but none have provided the accuracy needed. I've often found myself spending countless hours after school replanting seeds to ensure proper spacing and depth.The Seeding Square has been a revelation. It's sturdy, easy to secure in the garden bed, and features color-coded holes that correspond to an easy-to-use guide. Even kindergarteners can easily plant seeds correctly with this tool! The included dual-purpose wand ensures that holes are made to the correct depth, and the spoon makes it easy to scoop up tiny seeds without spillage. The funnel is especially great for young children who are still developing their fine motor skills. It makes depositing the seeds into the designated spot a breeze.Do yourself a favor and treat yourself to this great tool, and consider gifting it to the gardeners in your life.Happy gardening! 🌸Update April 11th 2025:Photo of my students and I with the Seeding Square in action. This tool is a huge hit with the kids, and it makes my life so much easier. Thank you SO much to the creator of this tool, Jennifer Pratt!

I am new to gardening and Epic Gardening recommended square foot gardening as an easy beginner technique. I wanted to remove as much room for error so I purchased this and it made planting 2 8x4 gardens a sinch! Item is a good quality and I love the added depth gauge and funnel that has been integrated into the design to make direct sowing easier. Cheap for the value and would definitely recommend to anyone getting started in square foot gardening. Made it easy for my kids to help too.

New to raised bed gardening and took a class at my extension office. They showed the seeding square and gave a talk on it. I didn’t realize that raised bed spacing is much different than in ground spacing. Purchased the seeding square to utilize all available space in the beds for vegetables. I’m expecting much higher yields this season and that’s always a good thing. The square is color coded with a guide to make things simple and made sturdy to last. If unsure of spacing or just want to utilize all available space in your raised beds I highly recommend the seeding square.

A little pricey, but it works well. I like the fact that I can lay out my sq ft garden as I go along without having to make a permanent string or wood grid. Also very helpful for spacing the plants within the squares. Overall a good tool and great if you have young kids that want to help in the garden ( the small funnel work good for little hands).

Now that we are well into gardening season, I can't say enough good things about this seed square. I'm a new gardener and this tool has made my novice efforts so much better. I have a squarefoot garden so it's perfect. The color coding on this tray works wonderfully with all the planning and strategy for the squarefoot garden. The color coding was my favorite characteristic of this tool because if a vegetable calls for a specific number of plants per square foot, you can easily look to see which spacing (aka color) is best suited for it. It's simple enough that my daughters can help and it adds a fun element to planting. It comes with a dibber and funnel too. The dibber fits perfectly into the marked holes while the funnel is attached. It has measurements on the side to poke holes the proper depth. It also has a seed scoop on the opposite end of the dibber which made it much easier to work with smaller seeds. The funnel turned out to be very useful as well. It's easy to lose seeds, so it's nice that they fell right in to where they needed to go.New and experienced gardeners may find a "soil blocker" useful as well for your inside spring starters. It's a contraption that punches your moist soil into cubes. There's different size blocks you can get. The one I found had dibber attachments so it prepped the blocks perfectly. It prevents your plants from getting root bound in their containers during the early germination phase because you don't put them in containers. I put the soil blocks in trays under grow lights and bottom watered. Just search "soil blocker".

Love this tool. Life changing for my garden.

The Seeding Square makes planting easy and precise, whether you're a beginner or seasoned gardener. It takes the guesswork out of spacing, ensuring healthier plants and higher yields. The color-coded grid is simple to use, helping you plant quickly while maximizing garden space.

While you can certainly garden without one of these, it makes life easier as well as much more interesting for children that are assisting! Solidly built. A great design that should prove to be a great value!
