Minoru Handy Seeder G-8 — Pelleted Seed, 128–220 Plug Trays
The Minoru Handy Manual Seeder G-8 turns one of the most tedious jobs in propagation into a 30-second task. Simply slide the seeder across the surface of your plug tray and it automatically dispenses a single coated seed into every cell — accurately, consistently, row after row.
Built in Japan for professional nurseries and market gardeners, the G-8 seeds an entire 128–220 hole tray in 30 seconds to one minute. Compare that to hand-sowing and the labour savings across a season are enormous — no wonder growers call it a game changer.
There’s nothing to plug in, charge, or maintain. At just 176g with a 180cc hopper, it’s a precision tool you can hand to any staff member and get identical results. Interchangeable rolls and adjustment plates (2L, L, S, 3S) handle coated/pelleted seed from 1.0 mm up to 4.5 mm diameter, covering lettuce, brassicas, onions, herbs and most pelleted vegetable and flower lines.
If you sow plug trays every week, the G-8 pays for itself in saved hours faster than almost any tool in the shed.

- Trays can be seeded in 30 seconds to 1 minute, efficient. and labour saving.
