Has anyone tried the rubber-bulb-and-hypodermic needle mic ro seeders?
A gardening nurse gave me a blunt-tip needle, and I can attach a bulb from a big eyedropper or turkey baster ... but how well do they work? Don't I need some porous plug in side the needle to keep seeds from being sucked right into the bulb?
I usually use a soda-straw spoon to scatter a small number of seeds onto a dry white saucer.
Then I pick up as many as I want per cell on a fingertip, then brush them off into the cell.
One of these is a 3/8" dowel.
I think one is a skinny chopstick, perhaps whittled down.
One is a very fat bamboo skewer.
If you wrap Scotch tape tightly around the plastic, it will slide on the wood so you can adjust the size of the "spoon ... but that's not useful. Usually I just want the tip to be the scoop.
I also have a 1/64th tsp measuring spoon - much too big for dust-like seeds!
