Know before you buy
No, this specific model is precision-engineered exclusively for the Micro 20 soil blocker. It will not align correctly with other block sizes.
The plates are held in place by strong neodymium magnets. You simply lift the current plate off the base and snap the desired plate into position; no tools or fasteners are required.
The set includes five interchangeable plates with hole diameters ranging from 1.5mm to 6.0mm. This allows you to sow a variety of seeds, from small greens to larger vegetable seeds.
The unit arrives fully assembled and ready to use. Because it has no moving parts, maintenance is minimal—simply keep the acrylic clean and store it in a dry place.
This is a manual, gravity-fed tool. Once the seeder is aligned over your soil blocks, you simply shake or tap it gently to allow the seeds to fall through the holes in the plate and into the pre-formed indentations of your soil blocks.
