Spreader Frame: The rigid metal spreader frame holds the paper pots open inside the nursery flat while you fill the paper chain pots with soil. After the soil and seed is added, the frame is removed, with the soil holding the paper chain pots open.
If your farm is doing a lot of transplanting you may want more than one frame to allow for batch processing and multiple people to fill flats.
Spreader Bars: The spreader bars are metal rods that slide into the sides of the compressed paper chain pots. They are used to pull the chain pots apart so you can place them onto the spreader frame. The spreader bars are removed after the paper chain pots are secured on the spreader frame. Without the spreader bars, there is no way to open the paper chains.
The spreader bars are well constructed and sturdy. The best feature of these spreader bars compared to the old flat insert design is that these rounded rods slide up through the paper chain seamlessly and do not get easily caught in the chain causing a rip. Going to last a long time.
