Description
Rotary Hand Seed Slotter
The BMS Rotary Seed Slotter is a precision overseeding tool that cuts perfectly flat-bottomed slots ½ in (≈ 13 mm) deep - exactly where bent and fine-turf grasses germinate best. Its rotary drum creates thousands of uniform pockets in minutes, giving greenkeepers and grounds staff a faster, more seed-efficient way to repair disease scars, dry patches, and thin areas.
NB: Now only available with a split handle.
Key Features & Benefits
- Flat-Bottomed Slot: The flat-bottomed slot ensures that the seed "turns" during the rapid germination period of less than 7 days. This turning action encourages stronger root growth
- Optimum Depth: The 1/2" depth allows for better moisture absorption by the seed, further aiding in germination
- Protected Environment: The topdressing sand creates a protective environment for the seed, maximising its chances of survival and strengthening the root structure
- Rapid Germination: The design of the Seed Slotter allows for rapid seed germination, often in less than 7 days
- Stronger Growth: The turning action and optimum depth encourage stronger root growth, leading to healthier, more resilient turf
- Resource Efficiency: The Seed Slotter's precise design results in a 50% saving of grass seed when overseeding, making it a cost-effective solution for turf management
