Hi All,
I wanted to get folk's opinion on pelleted seeds. I use a walk-behind
Earthway seeder at my farm and it does a pretty darn good job for most
everything, with the exception of turnips, rutabaga and other brassica-size
seeds that need room to develop. As a result, I spend a TON of time
thinning. I've heard of pelleted seeds, but haven't ever tried them. Do
you think this would help remedy the shortcomings of the Earthway seeder for
brassica-sized seeds. Also, I've heard that pelleted seeds sometimes have
germination problems...is this true? And if so, would they we worthwhile to
try?
Thanks for your advice,
