Eliot Coleman discussed using this seeder just this past weekend at the NOFA
summer conference. He cleans his beds off, uses a homemade rototiller (the
tilfer - driven with a cordless drill) that only turns the top two inches,
then uses a roller to firm the soil before sowing. He uses the roller again
after sowing to press seeds into soil contact.

His pictures looked pretty impressive. Of course, there apparently aren't
any rocks in Maine... :-)
