A vacuum is applied to an array of interchangeable syringe needles to accurately pickup and deposit seed in each individual cell. Seeding directly into punnets or plug trays singly or in multiples may be achieved by replacing single needles with multiple needles (up to 4 per cell). Excess seed is collected via a vacuum tube and deposited in a removable glass jar, allowing quick and easy change-over of seed varieties. A height adjustable seeding head caters for both plug trays and bedding plant flats.
