It says, the guy does "raised beds 3 ft wide by 20 ft long. He direct-seeds the carrots, four or five rows per bed, using a thin carrot plate on his Earthway seeder so the plants won't have to be thinned later."
My beds are 3 ft wide with four or five rows per bed. I haven't used a seeder because I've read there are difficulties with seed that small. Anyone using an Earthway seeder for carrots or other small seed?
I'd like to know about this too. I haven't used a seeder at all, primarily because I'm not seeding a large enough area to need one. But I'd like to expand, and it seems as though using a seeder for very small seed would let you use the seed you have most efficiently.
