Any
advice on setting the depth with the Jang?
I get
the sense that a decent translation of the manual would provide more info than
is provided now.
Thanks,

last spring and promptly sold my Earthway – the savings in seed and thinning
labour will pay off the higher cost pretty quickly. However, I’d be interested
in hearing from others about their experience planting peas and beans with the
Jang. I used the C12 and N6 roller for peas, but found that peas would lodge in
both these rollers and result in skips – bridging in the hopper was another
issue. Beans created the same challenges using the N6 roller, though not as
severe as the peas. For the first pea planting this spring, I used an old Planet
Junior #4 that I bought this past winter (along with a PJ wheel hoe) from
someone who figured they’d only be good as decorations! It dropped a bit more
seed than ideal (though probably not bad for a first planting in cold soil), but
at least there weren’t the misses and the frustration that the Jang caused last
spring. Anybody with similar experiences or advice to offer on the
Jang? Thanks, Rob Songberry Organic

Because I was trying to be economical and only purchased the four smaller plates/cogs. When I have time, I think I will get four more. On my early seeding, I find I have to double up on the
seed drop because of low germination in cold soils. Anybody else share
this problem. I direct seed spinach, peas, radish, carrot, beet, etc, in
the first or second week of April. I have to set my Jang for a one inch
drop rather than the preferred three
inch. This is for a mid-May CSA distribution on John and Katy
