- Earthway planter purchased from Lehman’s
- 11 different plates (comes with 5, 6 optional)
- Benefits:
- Adjustable seed depth, row width. Plate controls how far apart
each seed is dropped. - Cut the time to plant the garden by something like 90%, and no
sore back after! - Negatives
- Need to till the soil
- Must be relatively flat
- Twigs, sticks may be caught in it as you are going through the soil
- Need a good amount of seed, may not work on small sampler packs
- Loss at the end of row, very short rows don’t work well
- Conclusion – We love it so far, waiting to see how germination is!
