Can tomato seeds fit through the holes? I am looking for one that they go through!

The holes on the bottom are 3/16 (I just measured). They look about the size of a bb. My guess is that tomato seeds would go through but it might take some rinsing.

I'm visualizing it, and I think not. BUT, this was a gift for my daughter's camper so I don't have access to try it for you. It works great for camping,

You can but you must make sure that any seeds, sunflower chips, etc., are small... the size of red or white millet (max). Anything bigger will clog the openings.

Hello, I don't think grass seed would not fit through the holes. The holesare just big enough for groung herbs and spices.

Yes, I already have planted my seeds for tomato, onion, radishes, and lettuce on them and they are coming up great. Just remember to put the seed side facing up - I did that in the beginning and had to wait for the tape to disintegrate before they started to sprout through the dirt.

No, you provide soil and a small tomato plant. Have never done this from seed.

I'm sorry, I answered I incorrectly before, the mesh probably is fine enough to keep the seeds from slipping through.

Hi there, this is Lisa, I am the owner of Zziggysgal. A method that I like best, is to poke several holes, spaced at least 1-2 inches apart, and place 1-3 seeds in each.

No; I would not think that tomato seeds would pass through this colander. It is excellent as a regular colander though!

There are no directions. You just have to use trial and error. I ended up using the finest one for tomatoes to keep the seeds out. I also learned that I needed to chop them a bit (I was milling raw tomatoes). Good luck.

Yes, that is what I do. But I can only do that with my larger cages that have a door big enough to set this in. My smaller cages it won't fit through the door. Like I said in my review, though, I repurposed it from a "bath" to a technique to cut down on the seed mess, and I absolutely love it for that.

No, the holes would be too big for that purpose, I use it for pasta and veggies only.

I doubt that they'd fall through since their sprouts would probably be so irregular in shape. The holes are quite small. Even if some fall through, they'll still dry.

Yes, why not? What other method might you use? I have used for tomato plants and watermelon seeds so far.

Just checked the hole size, and found the hole to be about 1/2" in diameter. I guess small blueberries would go thru but not the big ones that are sometimes found in the container. Hope this helps.

I left them as is. No need to cover them. Just make sure the seeds are placed into the hole deep enough (at least 1/2 "). I use Long tweezers to insert the seeds Individually. Works great.

Mine did not have holes. I had to open them because I planted crotons. Certain plants will die when the planter fills up with too much water when it rains hard and they stay in that water forseveral days.
