Product Reviews
Since my first review I read the details again and have tried experimenting with the different attachments. I did not realise there are different sizes as the bore is very small. It might be helpful if instructions were supplied as the the opinion seems to be that a degree of patience is required having re-visited your website. I will keep trying, having now had some success with my lettuce seeds. Nil desperandum.
After the excellent quality and practicality of all the other Harrod's products I find this item completely useless. I tried with different size seeds without the slightest success. Perhaps it might work with micro sized seeds but not with normal vegetable seeds.
trying to pick up tiny seeds with this gadget proved almost impossible, then when I did manage it I dropped the seed on its way to the pot, it was too fiddly and frankly a waste of money
Customer offered a refund/replacement as per our terms and conditions. Product has been tested in the greenhouse at our own kitchen garden and although it takes a while to master the technique, it's time well invested!
What The Press Say

In the Garden Shed
"If you have difficulty sowing seeds this gadget may be for you. It has a bulbous end which you squeeze to suck a seed to the end of the tip. The kit comes with three tip sizes to pick up seeds of different sizes. It takes a little practice to use but once you have mastered it you can pick up really small seeds and deposit them exactly where you want."

"Take the stress out of sowing fine seeds with this clever, palm-sized gadget. It uses suction to let you pick up and release seeds to sow them exactly where you want them."
