The Cutting Garden

Recommend a field seeding device?

17 years ago

Next spring, I plan to succession plant several different crops including Snow-on-the-Mountain and Kale (Brassica). I'd like to direct seed rather than plant plugs since I think my success will be the same and it will take less effort. Could someone recommend a seeding device that can be used directly on a prepared bed?

I've used an Earthway Seeder for the past 20 years. They're hard to beat. Johnny's has them, but most local hardware stores or garden centers can get them if they don't have them in stock. Here's a link to their site:
