We provide a complete seeder package for the Market gardener: includes the VSS Vegetable Seeder with 10 rollers delivered Australia wide.
Making planting a fast and accurate process with seed metering a depth control.
Rollers can be rapidly changed to match seed types and spacing. Spacing is firstly adjust by the number of holes on the seed selection roller:
2 holes used for plant spacing of 25-60cm
4 holes used for plant spacing of 15-35cm
6 holes used for plant spacing of 10-25cm
12 holes used for plant spacing of 2.5-12cm
24 holes used for plant spacing of 1.5-6cm
Further adjustment to spacing is achieved through sprockets selection. Normally one sprocket selection can do almost everything.

These are the most used rollers and are recommended by JM Fortier, and many others. Currently, we do not stock alternative rollers. Let us know if you need something different and it can be arranged.
The seeder digs a farrow, drops the seeds at the desired depth, covers the seed and then presses down the soil for strong soil contact. It performs well in many soil types and the boat shape pushes trash underneath allowing for some imperfections in bed prep.
Comes in a Y handle which gives a firm control of the seeders direction when pushing. T handles where poorly made by this company and have proved more trouble than good.
Originally imported with metal wheels but they were heavier, bulkier and did not improver performance. So we have continued with their standard plastic wheels which have been found to work really well. Unit is lighter and easier to mauver rapidly.
