a Noble Experiment:
I was given an Earthway seeder. It only had one plate and we wanted to plant a large plot with soybeans to imrove the soil. The seeder seemed like it would be the fastest way to plant the field and maintain rows, etc. The plates did fit the seeder You can't really talk about these plates without talking about the seeder. Many people swear by them. I didn't have much luck. I had 1/10th acre of fresh tilled ground. It was kind of lumpy. Before using the seeder you need to make the seed bed as smoothe as possible. Being a freshly converted meadow, it would have taken much repeated tilling, a disk harrow and a lot more work than I was willing to put in. The seeds need to remain dry, and the seeder needs to be constantly monitored to ensure seeds are being picked up and dropped by the seeder. Under ideal conditions this might have worked well. Under my conditions it was more trouble than it was worth.
