gardenway = earthway?

if so, no there isn't anything for that seeder. i only use them for a
small number of crops, and have been trying to phase it out. too much
plastic - jammed seed chute - crappy belt drive

we're upgrading from a single row walk behind planet jr to a multirow w/
AC G mount. for leafy or root brassicas the 2" scatter shoe is great.
i'm also a fan for salad mix w/ raw seed. i think they make a 3"
scatter shoe too. ask Mkt Farm or Roeters. we'll see how it works. a
monosem or stanhay would be great but the $ make me twitch. problems
with the planet jr's. . . you're limited to >=10" centers without
making two passes. thinning. . . but most greens (baby
brassicas/lettuce) don't need any thinning. should mention that we
transplant moste everything, except those crops that don't do well with
it.
