Are the holes big enough for tomato seeds to pass through? I am wanting a colander that they will go through!

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

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

The slots are narrow so it works best for shorter smaller plants. Greens and lettuces did great. I don't think it's big enough for tomatoes or green beans.

I don't think it can. The openings are barely large enough to pass small sunflower seeds.

there are small slots that cover the whole bottom but I think they'd be too small for the sawdust to get through. They're designed just for liquid.

Definitely not, because the holes are too large to hold the thistle seed. The holes are designed to accommodate sunflower seeds.

Yes. They have punch-out drain holes, but they're really big - about an inch in diameter. I didn't want to lose that much water so quickly, so I drilled smaller holes. If you do use the punched-out holes, you'll need something to cover them to prevent losing soil - maybe a paper coffee filter.

More than likely small berries will fall through the holes. We use it for okra, squash, grapes, and jerky. It does a very good job - we've also dehydrated some of our own homemade pickles!

I don't know the size of the holes, but the sieve is fine enough to be used to wash quinoa without it going through the mesh. However, the problem with these strainers is that tiny pieces get caught up under the rim and are impossible to remove. That feels unsanitary to me.

I don't think so. The holes are large enough that the seeds would pass through. In my cooking classes we learned to press the seeds from berries in a fine mess strainer.

Hi. I bought these beads last year & the hole does go all the way through the bead. I haven't used them yet, but I'm looking forward to it. I hope I was able to answer your question.

No I don't think so . The holes are too big. You need one that is made for poppy seeds.

Yes I think so, I bought them for my container gardening. I drilled a 3in round hole in the bottom of one bucket and inserted the basket, put that bucket in another that I drilled 1/4in holes on the bottom with a 1/2in hole in 3in from the bottom, I water it from the 1/2in hole on the side and it is self watering. I water less and my Peppers, Tomatoes, and other veggies have all done great.

I am sorry to say I do not know. At a glance, I don't think so. I also have a Squeezo wannabe strainer that I use for tomatoes and there is a berry screen available for it that has pretty tiny holes. If you have to remove the seeds from berries, you might look at the Victorio (or other brands) fruit strainer. My wannabe is a Norpro that has served me well for many years.

It's not really a good shape for it and I would be concerned about stability. I have been looking for a used metal colander at thrift stores that will fit just inside the bowl of my toilet to do this though. Keep in mind that I don't buy the companies seeds, I just buy safflower seed at the local pet store for far less.

I'm not sure if the B2B food strainer is like mine, and I don't have a salsa screen. What are you putting through that has seeds coming through? I use the regular screen for apples and Autumn Olives and it comes through very satisfactory. I have a berry screen, but it didn't do as well for Autumn Olives, and I've not used it for anything else. It's supposed to be good for tomatoes, but I like my old fashioned cone shaped sieve and wooden plunger for tomatoes. Sorry that I can't tell you more.
