A Crowdfunding Success Story: Growing Vegetables Will Never Be the Same


You love freshly picked veggies from the garden.  Everyone does! They taste amazing and are so good for you. 

The thing is - gardens generally require a lot of time, space and know-how. But... what if they didn’t?


There’s now a nifty little tool that is changing the way people are growing their veggies. It’s a color-coded seed spacer that makes planting a garden so fun and simple, your kids might just take over on planting day.



After a less than ideal first gardening experience, a husband and wife team from Vancouver, Canada made themselves a seed-spacing-template to simplify the planting process and were blown away with the results.  Based on the popular planting method - Square Foot Gardening, their tool organizes gardens and helps maximize growth. Which is great for gardening in a limited space! One doesn’t have to know that lettuce needs six inches of space, or that peas need three. The spacing requirements of each seed and seedling are pre-calculated and color-coded to the template, making planting a snap! 


See how YouTube influencers Sarah and Kevin of Living Traditions Homestead use Seeding Square to plant seeds and seedlings in their raised garden bed. 





Optimized space means good things for gardeners! First off, 2-5 times the harvest of traditional row-gardening can be anticipated. Second - it's a timesaver when it comes to weeding.  The exact placement of each plant makes unwanted weeds stick out like a sore thumb. Not that many show up - there simply isn’t room for them.  Finally - Save money! With more plants per square foot, there is less exposed soil.  This leads to reduced evaporation and a decreased water bill for your garden. 



So how exactly does it work? Sowing seeds is done in three simple steps:
1.) Press the Seeding Square (template) into the soil
2.) Poke the color-coded holes according to the chart, and
3.) Plant your seeds or seedlings.



For even MORE space efficiency - after seeding a square foot section, the impressions left in the soil show gardeners where to line up the template for the next square foot.  Gardeners are finding with spacing optimized, a small garden (or a couple of garden boxes) is all you need.



The verdict is in, Seeding Square is a win! Carson Arthur – a popular TV gardening celebrity says (he) “Loves this gardening innovation” and Shirley Bovshow of Hallmark Channel's, Home and Family show chose it as one of her top picks for a gardening gift.  Our dynamic duo even pitched their tool on Dragons’ Den (Canada’s version of Shark Tank) and had not one, but two dragons chomping for a deal!
