STEP-BY-STEP GUIDE
How to Use Seeding Square™
Press it into the soil, poke a seed into each hole, and plant. The Seeding Square marks 1, 4, 9, or 16 evenly spaced spots in a 12 × 12 inch square, depending on the crop — so you never measure or count.
Three Easy Steps | Press, poke, plant
-
1. Press
Smooth the soil, lay the square flat, and press down to mark evenly spaced holes.
-
2. Poke
Use the dibber to poke a hole in the color that matches your crop’s color on the planting chart.
-
3. Plant
Drop a seed or seedling in each hole, cover, water gently, and move to the next square.

Some larger crops need more room: squash, zucchini, pumpkin, melons, and bush tomatoes need at least 4 square feet each. The planting guide also marks which crops start from seedlings, which from cloves, and which need a trellis.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Seeding Square?
A 12 × 12 inch color-coded template that marks evenly spaced holes so you plant the right number of seeds in each square foot. It comes with a dibber, a seed funnel, and a color-coded planting guide.
How does the Seeding Square work?
Three steps: press it into the soil, poke the holes that match your crop’s color, then drop in seeds and cover. No measuring or counting.
How many plants can I grow per square foot?
1, 4, 9, or 16, depending on the plant’s mature size. The color guide tells you which — for example, 16 radishes, 9 bush beans, 4 lettuce, or 1 tomato per square.
Is the Seeding Square worth it, or can I just use string or a DIY grid?
It’s faster and more accurate than string or a homemade grid, it won’t shift as you work, and the color guide removes the guesswork — which is where most beginners lose plants to crowding.
How deep should I plant the seeds?
The dibber has a 1-inch ruler to help set depth, but follow the depth on your seed packet. The square sets the spacing; the packet sets the depth.
Can I use it with seedlings and transplants, or only seeds?
Both. The holes mark where each seedling goes, and the planting guide notes which crops do better started as transplants.
What’s in the box?
The Seeding Square template, the dibber with a built-in ruler, the seed funnel, the color-coded planting guide, and every order comes with the exclusive Seed 2 Splendor guidebook.
What is it made of, and is it reusable?
Durable weatherproof plastic, built to be reused season after season. Store it out of direct sun between plantings to keep it in good shape.
How many vegetables does the guide cover?
There's over 40 common vegetables and herbs, grouped into four color-coded spacings.
Does it work in raised beds and regular garden soil?
Yes, in both. It works best on level, loosened soil so the holes stay clean and even.
How many seeds go in each hole?
Usually one to a few, depending on the crop. For tiny seeds like carrots and greens, sow a small pinch and thin to the strongest seedlings.
How long does shipping take, and what’s your return policy?
