First take a short length of plastic pipe.

Then cut a piece of ply with a hole saw to fit the plastic pipe.

Cut a short length of broom handle and attach it to the ply with a metal nut, leaving the head showing, also using a tapered piece of plastic to form the dimple for the seed. Add a handle at the other end.

Then I press the tube into a mixture of compost , potting compost and a little crushed charcoal, slightly damp so it sticks together. Push the plunger down and wiggle it round not too hard, turn the plunger so it doesn`t stick, turn upside down and then push the tube down to release the soil plug.
