I'd like to get recommendations from those of you who use push or pull
seeders. I would like a seeder that is really, really good at planting
spinach. I grow a lot of it (raw seed, beds about 40' long), and it's one of
the few things I don't start in soil blocks. It looks like my choices are
Earthway, Glaser, four-row pinpoint, six-row, and Jang.

--I have an Earthway and am constantly frustrated with it, as it seems to
skip and bunch a lot. If someone has had good experience with the Earthway
for spinach, I'd be interested.

--I've used the six-row, planting two rows at at a time, and it is pretty
awesome, but seems like more tool than I really need.

--I wouldn't mind using the four-row as a single-row planter, but have heard
no reviews.

--Glaser users--what say you?

--I expect I'd be happy with a Jang. How is it for spinach?

thanks.
