The Burgon and Ball Planting Ruler is a practical and reliable tool designed to help gardeners achieve precise seed spacing with ease. Ideal for allotments, kitchen gardens, raised beds and borders, this simple tool removes the guesswork from sowing and helps deliver more consistent growing results.
One of the most common challenges when sowing seeds is getting the spacing right. Seeds planted too close together compete for nutrients, water and light, often leading to weaker plants and reduced yields. This planting ruler solves that problem by giving you a clear and repeatable way to position seeds correctly every time.
Crafted from FSC certified beech wood, the ruler offers a strong, durable and sustainable construction that feels solid in hand. The smooth finish makes it comfortable to use while maintaining a traditional look that fits perfectly into any gardener’s toolkit. Designed to last season after season, it is a dependable addition for both new and experienced growers.
The integrated seed sowing holes are evenly spaced to allow quick and accurate marking of planting positions. Simply press the ruler into the soil to create uniform holes, ensuring each seed has the space it needs to grow properly. Alongside this, the ruler includes both metric and imperial measurements, making it easy to use regardless of your preferred system.
A printed vegetable spacing guide is included directly on the ruler, providing quick reference for common crops. This removes the need to check seed packets or guides while working, helping you stay efficient during busy sowing periods.
Whether you are planting rows of vegetables on an allotment or organising a small kitchen garden at home, the Burgon and Ball Planting Ruler helps improve accuracy, save time and support healthier plant growth. It is a simple tool that delivers real results.
