Product Description
If you're looking for a more efficient way to seed a large vegetable garden or flower bed, consider the Precision Garden Seeder from Earthway Products. The seeder comes with six standard seed plates: install the appropriate plate, and it will automatically space seeds at the ideal length. It also opens, closes, and packs the soil, and even marks the next row ahead of time. Note: assembly is not for the faint of heart and requires at least 20 minutes with a few basic tools to complete.

Good concept, not sure on execution

Comment:
I've had one of these for two planting seasons. It has a plastic plate that scoops up seeds from the bin and drops them down through a drill below the soil line. Different kinds of seeds require their own plates. Because the plate is made of plastic it flexes and seeds can get trapped behind it. I think metal plates would work better. You have to keep a close eye on the mechanism to catch it when it malfunctions, which it will, trust me. I find it difficult watching the mechanism closely and running a straight row. I have used it to create a furrow and then I manually drop the seeds into ground. I had high hopes for this that weren't realized.
Comment:
I really have not even openred the box yet as it is a christmas present for myself. I have been looking for one of these and all have been about 100 bucks and additional seed plates cost even more. I will not be using this item for several months as now it is about 5 below zero!!! I hope for the price it will work well and if it doesn't I am not out much money. Good luck if you plan on purchasing!

Earthway Garden Planter

Comment:
This little machine is a true time and back saver for me. My garden is in a river bottom. I till the soil and it becomes very soft. I let the Planter create the rows as it easily rolls through the soft soil. It puts all the seeds at same dept and germination is high. I think if the soil was hard with clods and rocks it would probably not work as good. I borrowed one from a friend this past spring, used it with great results, and then purchased one recently. For me and my application, it can't be beat.

Comment:
I was so pleased with this product. Well made, easy to put together. I haven't used it in the garden yet, but it looks like it will be a gem.
Comment:
I think the product is well over priced for the job it did. It dropped to many seed's. It called for one seed every 7". this planter dropped 5 to 8 seed's every 7". It does not cover the seeds as stated. If someone wants one for half price, I have one for sale. Just remember there is nothing precise about this machine. Don't waste your money.
