Seed tapes and mats take the hassle out of sowing. These innovative products are designed to make planting easier, more efficient, and less time-consuming. With seeds evenly spaced between sheets of biodegradable paper, seed tapes and mats ensure that every seed has the potential to grow without the need for thinning.
Why Use Seed Tapes and Mats?
Consistent Spacing
Proper plant spacing is key to healthy growth and high yields. Seed tapes and mats come with seeds pre-spaced at regular intervals, ensuring each plant has the space it needs to grow. This consistent spacing allows for optimal growth and reduces competition for resources.
Quick and Easy Planting
Rather than manually sowing each seed, you can lay the seed tape or mat on the soil and lightly cover it with soil. This method makes planting faster and easier, saving time and effort, especially in larger garden areas.
Minimised Seed Waste
With the seeds already spaced correctly in the tape or mat, you reduce the chance of wasting seeds during planting. There’s no need for thinning, as the spacing is perfect for each plant. This is especially helpful for fine or small seeds that can be tricky to handle.
How to Use Seed Tapes and Mats:
Seed Tapes
- Dig a small channel in the soil where you want to plant.
- Roll out the seed tape along the channel.
- Lightly cover the tape with soil.
- Water gently to ensure good soil-to-seed contact.
Seed Mats
- Place the seed mat in a pot or directly in the garden.
- Cover with a thin layer of soil.
- Water gently to moisten the soil and ensure proper germination.
Seed Tapes and Mats are perfect for beginners, kids, or anyone looking for an easy and reliable way to plant seeds without the hassle. They simplify planting while promoting healthy plant growth, making them a great choice for any garden.
