I also, only have an Earthway. When a plate is the only one the seeds fit in but is still too thick I usually put tape over ever other hole in the plate to reduce the amount of seed dropped. Not the perfect solution but a bit better. Wendy Avalon Farms South Alabama – sweltering. How can it be so humid and dry at the same time?

I used the beet plate and knew it was too thick when 5000 seeds seeded 100 feet, and they are thick. I didn’t think the holes in the spinach plate were big enough, but ???? Please, no rants on the Earthway. I haven’t had the privilege of using a more expensive seeder to know the difference, and it works pretty well for me. I use the beet plate; but I often get poor germination on parsnips. I'd be curious to know what others use. (You could try various plates before actually seeding: put a little seed in and spin the wheel with one hand while holding the other under the planting shoe; or even run it across a piece of cardboard or paper and see what comes out.) -- Rivka; Finger Lakes NY, Zone 5 mostly Fresh-market organic produce, small scale |
