Home made seed planter (drill?)
 

Hi

The little furry creatures keep digging up the sunflower seeds I
plant. I have tried a large screwdriver to make the hole, but fiddly
to say the least. Any of you bright sparks got ideas on how I can
plant a single seed or two to a depth where the furries cannot smell
them and start digging them up?I'm sure you will, ta

Start the seeds off in pots and then plant them out when you've got 6" of
seedling and a pot full of roots.

I have to admit, my solution to seed digging is to plant in the greenhouse
before transferring out. Sunflowers in root trainers, peas in guttering.

Why not plant as normal and then water with a solution of Armilatox,
the smell will mask any smell from the seeds and will last long enough
for the plants to be well up before it fades.
