50: I like the idea because it will make life easier for those who sow it.

In the square foot gardening method, the seeds are sown in a specific location within a square foot so that everyone has enough space to grow mature without wasting space.
Made of durable ABS and polypropylene plastic, the seeding square provides a square foot template that can help you maximize your growth in a limited space.
Simple to use, the template shows the correct seed spacing, the color is-
A coded hole that matches the planting chart of 46 vegetables allows you to quickly know where to sow.
Graded sowing eliminates speculation about setting the correct depth of planting.

When you have finished planting a part, the template can be moved to grow the adjacent square feet, allowing you to use it to grow the entire garden.

Grown on a scale like a backyard garden, this light-weight seeding machine will open a trench, sow the seeds, and then replace the soil again as you push the soil.

This is especially helpful for smaller seeds because it places seeds evenly, thus eliminating the need for later thinning.
The Hopper is made of solid plastic and has enough seeds to grow the big bed without having to refill it frequently, but the planter is compact in structure and easy to operate and can also work on the raised bed.

It also comes with a spacing template that allows you to do both-inch, five-inch or 10-inch intervals. – Mid-
