Have you tried Soil Planter Mix for this. I used this for my Chaparral Biome and it end it was amazing. If you need to know more see here https://botanylive.com/chaparral-biome/

Mike,

What size equals what price?

  Are you sure? yes | no

Hi Bobbinnd, 
The one in the image is £200 shipped anywhere in the world that accepts normal post couriers. Spike sizes and spacing can be made for your needs. 

I would however keep following and hold off on buying until you see the drop seeder that accompanies the unit, having both makes seeding a lot quicker. 

All the best,Mike

Hi Mike, here is the second part of the tool:
https://hackaday.io/project/168051-drop-seeder-put-those-seeds-in-the-soil-quick 

Again pretty simple, but saves me a lot of time doing a repetitive task. 

  Are you sure? yes | no
