BMS Rotary Hand Seed Slotter 

The BMS Rotary Hand Seed Slotter is a precision tool for effective overseeding, creating ideal flat-bottomed slots for optimal seed germination. It quickly repairs worn turf areas, saving up to 50% on seed while promoting strong, upright root growth. Designed and manufactured by BMS for professional turf care.

Application:
When overseeding worn greens, tees, or collars, simply broadcasting seed can be hit-or-miss. The Rotary Hand Seed Slotter takes the guesswork out. Pushing it along, the rotary drum cuts thousands of consistent flat-bottomed slots at the perfect germination depth – about 13 mm (½ inch) – ensuring direct soil-to-seed contact for faster, more reliable growth.

A straightforward, effective way to repair patches and thicken turf without wasting seed. Precise slotting can reduce seed waste by up to 50% compared to broadcasting. The rotary action allows quick, consistent coverage over larger areas, ideal for minor disease scars or larger thin areas around collars and approaches.
