What are seed tapes, mats, and discs?  

Seed tapes, mats, and discs are pre-seeded gardening aids where seeds are spaced at optimal distances within biodegradable material. They simplify planting by ensuring seeds are evenly distributed, reducing the need for thinning and transplanting.

How do I use seed tapes?

Simply lay the tape along a straight furrow in your prepared soil, cover with a thin layer of soil, water it, and watch your seeds grow with perfect spacing. It's especially handy for tiny seeds like carrots and lettuce, which can be difficult to sow evenly.

What are the benefits of using seed mats? 

Seed mats are larger than tapes and perfect for growing a mixed variety of seeds, such as a salad garden or a flower bed. They can be rolled out into a prepared area or a large container, offering a full garden solution in one simple step. They also significantly reduce the time spent planting.

Can I cut the seed tapes or mats to fit my garden? 

Absolutely! One of the great advantages of seed tapes and mats is that you can easily cut them to fit any size or shape of garden bed or container. This makes them incredibly versatile for all types of garden layouts.

Are these products environmentally friendly? 

Yes, seed tapes, mats, and discs are designed to be eco-friendly. They are made from biodegradable materials that naturally decompose in the soil, adding to the organic matter in your garden and reducing waste.

What types of seeds are available in these forms? 

A wide variety of vegetable, herb, and flower seeds are available in tape, mat, and disc form. Popular choices include radishes, carrots, lettuces, and annual flowers, which benefit from precise spacing and easy planting.

How do I store unused seed tapes, mats, and discs?

Keep them in a cool, dry place until you're ready to use them. It's important that they are kept dry to prevent any premature decomposition or mold growth on the biodegradable materials.

What seeds are best for seed tape?

Seed tape is best for seeds that you sow directly into the garden in spring, especially tiny seeds like carrot, basil, radish, lettuce, parsley, cilantro and kale.

Seed tapes, mats, and discs are not just about saving time—they're about making gardening more accessible, convenient, and enjoyable.
