When that article was written, those amounts were for growing under 60% shade in the summer.  The shade and temps give a very “light” leaf.  Since, we have successfully grown without the shade which makes a heavier leaf, so the seeding/row foot rate is lower by maybe 50% and the yields are heavier since each lettuce leaf is more substantial – 20# or more on 400 row feet.

 

No ideas on the seeder, however!

I bought Johnny’s new salad mix seeder. Have used it once and love how it worked. Does anyone have experience with how much seed to plant per yield. GFM August 2004 article by Allison and Paul Wiediger, not using a pinpoint seeded, used 17 ounces seed for about 40 lbs harvested mix. A pound of seed will seed a VERY LONG bed with this seeder, so I suspect I will need less than that with this seeder. Anyone have this info with the pinpoint seeder? Thank you.
