I use a seeder like this from Japan that is part of the system for the
paperpot transplanter I use that I posted about here a while ago. It is an
amazing time-saver. I just pour seed into the plexiglass tray, shake it
around to get seed in each hole and then, click, I am able to set all the
seed into the cells at once (in this case 264 cells). I am very happy with
it but have no experience with the one available from Johnny's.
