I need to know more about how to use the 4-row precision seeder - I've 
never gotten it to successfully roll along evenly through the soil.  
Somehow my soil and its wheels don't work together.  Do you have 
cake-flower fine soil?  Do you tamp it down before seeding?  I guess 
what I need, is info on how you prepare the seed bed before using that 
particular seeder.
