The Jang will do a good job for you. I never had good luck with consistent singulation with the Earthway. If you have a greenhouse and are growing a lot of spinach, I'd look into a paperpot transplanter. I've been using the paperpot transplanter with spinach for three years now and figure that between eliminating one cultivation and the fact that I can get one more crop in per season it more profitable for me to transplant than to direct seed.

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.
