You can go this route one of three ways.

A)  Have a custome seed roller made for you that has a 1/32 spacing  
using the high density gear settings (14 on the front and 9 teeth on  
the rear).  Depending on the seed (the small stuff is easier I would  
think) you could fit a double row on the seeder. and then make  
multiple passes, probably as close as I did, maybe a bit closer since  
the wheel width is wider than the area you plant in.

B) The company also makes multiple row planters, with an additional  
single row add on.

C) Do a combination of both.
