Changing my previous rating!!!
My previous review wasn't harsh but it wasn't very positive. The company reached out to me and offered to refund my money if I wanted to return it, even though, I'm sure, it was way past my return by date. I printed off the return codes and got ready to return it.....I thought. I mulled over it a bit.....looked over it a bit more......and decided to keep it. I think it's going to be a great asset to my garden. I think my previous expectations were a bit too high as I was expecting something much heavier an beefier but as I think through it, I believe the light weight aluminum is a much wiser use of materials for the type use it is made for. It's perfect for small and large gardens, easy to move around and works as it should. YES, I would recommend this to other gardeners. My previous review is below so you can see the difference. The company did everything they could to satisfy me and that is worth so much to me!! Thank you Earthway!I was expecting something a bit sturdier and precise but it still works ok. Not sure the seed cartridges are all that accurate. I planted a few rows of corn with it and it worked well enough. I also planted a few rows of okra and they worked alright as well. It just seems a bit flimsy to me, but maybe I'm being too picky. I think it might be better if I had a really large multi rowed garden......but I don't. I'd recommend it to someone that had pounds and pounds of seed to plant for sure!!

great buy for the big gardener
I am very satisfied with the earthway preicision seeder I bought. We have used the seeder to plant 1750 row feet of vegetables and companions this spring already. I have planted Punmkins, squash, gourds, dill, buckwheat, sweet corn, borage, and nasturtiums with the 12 seed plates I purchased.thoughts:This seeder seems to work best with a larger amount of seed in the hopper than you really need. I do not think that dumping one seed packet in the hopper would work very well. This is especially true for tiny seeds like carrots and radishes. Luckily I overbought this year and it was not a problem. If you are buying 1/4lb at a time this seeder is for you.With each different seed I planted it worked the best to set the seeder on a table, install a seed plate, dump some seed in, spin the front drive wheel watching the seed plate, checking to make sure it was picking up a seed or two in each little scoop. Using this method I was able to plant everything from dill to nasturtiums. I did not pay much attention to the names on the seed plates, just test run each seed with a couple different plates to find the best match. I also found that selecting the seed plate that just barely holds one seed works well on the table, but not so good in the field. if the little seed cup on the plate is almost too small, the vibrations of walking and the seeder bouncing over stuff will shake some of the seeds out. Pick the next bigger one, you will be happier with the results.This seeder works the best when planting in freshly tilled earth. My garden is large 55 x 300, soI drug the entire plot with a spike drag a few times to break up clods and debris before planting. This seemed to leave a firm but yielding seed bed that planted nicely.I did try and plant my sweet corn in some minimally worked ground, and found it hard to keep a straight row bouncing off the clods.I plant 25 or more varieties of cucurbits, (pumkins, gourds, and squash). The seeds vary from the very large to very small, all of which are flat seeds. This seeder's plate system seems to pick up seeds that are closer to round the best. My wife and I, along with some advice from the local hardware store guy came up with a solution. I removed the seed plate, and taped together a piece of plastic 3/4" tubing with a funnel on top attached to a copper 45 fitting and a short piece of pipe that I flattened with a hammer so it would fit snugly in the seeder's drop slot. After fitting the funnel/tube/copper elbow contraption on the seeder I just taped it onto the handles with electricians tape. We marked the front wheel with a piece of orange tape to judge spacing, set the correct depth, and pushed the seeder. My wife walked alongside me and plunked the seeds into the funnel when the tape came around. The seeds would plinko through the funnel contraption and through the seeder, drop tube onto the ground and be coverd and packed just as a normal. This mod saved my wife and I lots of time and bending over. a 300 ft row took 10 minutes to plant.All in all The $100 or so bucks I spent to get the seeder and the extra plates has been well worth it. I will enjoy this seeder for many years to come.

Wish I had bought this years ago. Don't believe the negative reviews
I put off buying a seed planter for years because of all the negative reviews. Finally, I decided I had to do something because my back hurt so much last year from planting, so I decided to take the risk with Amazon due to their return policy.I can't believe how easy this thing is to use and how well it works, so I am perplexed at the negative reviews. It even worked perfect in the rocky parts of the garden where I haven't yet gotten to screen it. But what used to take me hours of back breaking work, I got done in about 20 minutes. And besides that, I used about 1/3 the amount of seeds I used to use because it spaces them so efficiently. Hand planting I wasted so much seed because it just comes out, and then I had to spend more time thinning the plants. The different plates exchange easily for the different size seeds, and since some seeds aren't marked on the plates, you may have to experiment a little bit to see which one picks up the seed you are using best. For a $100 machine, it is well built; it is light enough to be carried to the garden by a 65 year old, but sturdy enough to do its job well.Now, after 2 months, I have to edit my review. There were large areas of rows that the seeds never came up - and I am not sure why this occurred. There was no way to really confirm that the small seeds were coming out, and also whether they were being planted at the correct depth. But much of my small carrot and cabbage seeds never came up, and the string beans were spotty. In my second planting, went over the rows of string beans three times to assure the seeds were being planted, and these rows came up ok. So I would say to go over the row several times to be sure that the seeds are being planted. And my experience is that is not useable for very small seeds.
