Earthway 1001-B Precision Low price 2012

I received mine a few days ago, planted some feed corn this evening. I had finely tilled soil, but lots of weed root "trash". It worked well, I cleaned the trash at the end of each 35 ft row. The filling chain did not do a complete job, but dragging a garden rake over the row finished the job. The entire process took about 15 minutes and my back didn't suffer from bending over. When I plant sweet corn, I think I will open the ground with a hoe and use the seeder to drop the seeds and mark the next row. Covering the seeds is perhaps the easiest part of planting. This tool takes the painful part of planting away...bending over to place the seeds at the correct distance. I saw no recommendation for feed corn, used the sweet corn plate and watched it scoop and drop seeds. Oh yes, it is plastic and aluminum construction, light weight, but I would not like to push more weight, anything heavier would have to be powered. Having retired from engineering, I can see a lot of engineering time in the seed pickup plate/dropping mechanism. This puppy is good bang for the buck, waiting to plant my radishes (pain in back!!). I tested seed selection/dropping with the front wheel on the stand, turning the wheel by hand. I saw it drop individual seeds, was satisfied that I had the correct plate. I will do the same with all other seeds. A new user will need to do a dry run with no seeds to get the feel of the machine. The front wheel requires contact with the ground and at the same time there is drag from the row marker. The row marker worked very well for me, made a well discernable furrow in the ground. Happy with this purchase? My back says YES!


Don't be fooled into buying the Earthway Precision Garden Seeder, thinking that it is a quality piece of machinery. Cheap, cheap, plastic TV trays are made of better stuff. The hopper and wheels are made of cheap black plastic, the rest is made of very flimsy and thin aluminum. The whole thing does not weigh enough to make the wheels turn under its own weight when you push it. You have to bear down on it to make it roll.
It will not stand the test of time in your garden.
It will just be another broken do-dad laying around with weeds growing up in it in your yard.
If all that is not bad enough, the seed plate for corn picks up anywhere from two, to four, pieces of sweet corn seed in every seed cup, leaving you with four, to sixteen, seeds of corn planted every 9 inches.

I was dis-mayed at the poor quality of this product and dis-heartened at the poor planting results.

I am currently using a home-made planter consisting of a funnel attached to a three foot length of 1" PVC water pipe via hot glue gun and I am very satisfied with the results, and the precision at which the seeds are placed as I drop them one by one into the funnel and down the length of PVC pipe. The funnel cost $1.00 at Dollar Tree. The PVC water pipe cost .35 cents per foot. Total price = $2.05 + TAX.
