Julie: For really tiny seed, this may be the perfect tool for you! I did a quick test, picked up a single summer thyme seed with the medium size of the three tips. That’s a pretty tiny seed… No problem picking it up, but you’d have to get used to controlling how much you squeeze, or you can blow away the seed. For me, I don’t do much at all with really tiny seed,and I can’t see having to move ‘em one by one, so this gizmo hasn’t come in handy so far. Have you tried those little seed spoons, long, thin plastic sticks with a different sized tiny cup at each end. They might be easier and quicker. I had a set, dunno where they went. Here, I found a link. The bulb thing I got from Veseys.

Gillian: Both of those I ordered. I forget where, but between Veseys, William Dam and Lee Valley, you’ll find ‘em. I can’t recall seeing them in stores, but a big garden department or garden center ought to have gadgets you can try out.

Can you get the Seedmaster or the Mini-Sim seeder at most gardening centres? I’ve found seeding pretty tricky in the past and I would love a tool to help me.

This blog is my favorite, no question. About that bulb seeder, I was considering this for those dust like herb seeds. There are plenty of flower seeds that are also impossibly small. What don’t you like about the way it works?

Keep posting those photos.
