Planet Jr. for sweet corn?

Hi,

I'm thinking of purchasing a Planet Jr. seeder to plant sweet corn, green beans, peas, and a variety of greens. My understanding of these is they're fine for the smaller seeds, but I can't find much information on using them for larger seeds.

I emailed Cole, who I guess is now the manufacturer, but they didn't exactly answer my question on what the spacing would be if planting corn. They said as long as the seed falls through the plate it would work, but corn wasn't listed in the manual, so they couldn't tell me the spacing.

Is anyone using one of these to plant corn or beans? If so, which plate do you use, and what's the spacing in the row?

I have an Earthway, but have always gotten erratic placement with both corn and beans, so I thought I might try something else.

Thanks for any help,

Andy
