Apparently I firm my soil up more than you do (with my John Deere roller harrow), because, if anything, I have more trouble with seeds too shallow, than too deep, which I have theorized is sometimes the reason for my less than ideal germination. Nevertheless, I feel the E'way is a great buy for the money, too. I think that in order for me to do much better, I would have to move up to a vacuum seeder, costing much more.

Interesting comment -- I take a rake and walk with it in a vertical position to tamp/firm the soil before planting. This keep the Earthway from planting the seeds too deep -- which I theorize is the much of the reason for poor germination. Tom (central NC)

http://lists.ibiblio.org/mailman/options/market-farmingOkay, all cleaned and lubed, I have added a 30" cross bar to the handle but to meEarthway has always felt uncomfortable when pushing it in the row; like it is being lifted in the rear, when it should be pushed down. Any ideas? does the handle extension help?Does anyone run a roller ahead of an Earthway in real loose soil, given a choise I would like firmer seed cover and less sinking of the whole machine.It is a great tool for the money spent, way ahead of my hundred year old Ames planter,but still, I think they could do something for user comfort!MAsteveINE_______________________________________________
