I've had a better idea. What about a roll of tape with little squares of stickiness in a line with spaces at appropriate intervals. You could buy the tape and sprinkle your own seeds on it.
@purplerain me too! I still haven't emptied the tray of unused seedlings after potting on this afternoon. They'll all be limp tomorrow so I won't feel as bad chucking them out.
When sowing fine seed, my dad used to mix a tiny pinch of seed into a tablespoon of ground rice so as to distribute it more thinly. Unlike the seed, the white rice shows up against the compost, so you know which pots you've sown.. Didn't work when I tried it though. The rice grew mould on it, which killed the seedlings.
It's a shame they can't sprinkle them onto sticky compostable strips so that you could cut off what you want.
They do veg seed on tapes which I have used spring onion particularly works great just cut and bury, makes successional sowing so easy. So I don't see why they can't do it with flower seed.
