Does it work with very small uncoated seed like lectus seed? My country has no coated seed sell.
Instead of silicone (and waiting a day for it to dry), you could use masking or scotch tape to block some holes for immediate use. It’s also less messy.
Hi. Thanks for the best review of this tool on Youtube.
Please two questions; what’s the purpose of that hole on the belt side on your ‘seed tank’ that gets covered by a plate, and if you would wish how could you do small row markings about 10cm (4in.) or so with that row marker? Greetings from Europe
How is it with small seeds like carrots? Can it pull one at a time? How’s the spacing?
Have been watching your instructional videos religiously since I accidentally came across one while looking for something else. You explain every subject in through detail and you certainly go all out with the visual aids. I realize you receive compensation via the Tube. However it is obvious that you are an above board type of guy that is truly representative of what society in whole should strive to be like. Thank you from all of us for the demonstrations and extra effort you put forth in each of your videos. We all reap the benefits of good food and a sustainable earth. May you live a long and happy and profitable life.
Excellent video!
I learned from someone else to put a little talc powder on the back of the plate and it made everything works more smoothly
Thanks, and good luck with the crop!
my daddy bought something like that a long time ago and i use it today.. i love it corn beans you name it.
Thanks Mark for a great video and information…God Bless.
Mark, thank you so much for this video. I have a few questions, if you don’t mind.
1) If I am planting lettuce, how far apart will this seeder plant the seeds without having to use silicone or something like that? Does it naturally plant KALE one INCH apart? What about lettuce? Beets? Beans? Peas? Can the space between the seeds be adjusted without so much effort in blocking multiple seed spaces on the plate?
2) How does the guide for the next row work? It looks like it marks it a couple feet away. I want to plant 8 rows of beets in a 30-inch bed. Does it work this way or only marks the new, next row? Does that make sense?
3) I’d like to use this to plant lettuce, beets, etc. around my orchard trees for chickens. Can you use this in a circular pattern around the trees of does it only push in a straight line?
4) If you were to give this a star rating, 1-5, how would you rate it and why?
Thank you so much! Love your work and videos! I’ve learned so much from your channel.
Sounds like Mike from Breaking Bad
Thanks Mark, good job!
You always have the best videos. All these tips are great! Thanks
Would you ever consider doing a farm tour? Or consultation for perspective farmers?
this is a great channel. I am new to your channel and have subscribed and would be honoured if you would sub me back. Many thanks 🙂
What was the liquid you said you put on the plate? I couldn’t understand the word. Sorry. Im 70
Great video, Mark! I should have watched this earlier; we planted corn today using the Earthway. I don’t think I had the depth set deep enough because I ended up having to go back over some of the rows and cover the seeds. Also, in reading the other comments I’m sorry to hear about your wife. I can only imagine how difficult it’s been raising your kids without your better half. Thanks for sharing!
did you adjust the piece that holds the plate through to the belt?

Very good video….thanks
Thanks for this video. I just bought an Earth Way seeder at an estate sale for $4. I can’t wait to use it in the garden this spring.
WOW! That was a really good video. Thanks for just looking to help out and not trying to make a bunch of money off your knowledge like so many of these young urban farmers are doing now. I like your tips. I Do have a question for you. You had said if you wanted to spare the seeds out farther. But what if you want plant seeds CLOSER together. (I’m thinking about lettuce mix. We grew those pretty close together and it looks like the lettuce wheel only has 8 holes per however long the circumference is of the wheel. Is there way you have found to do that?
Could you send me the various depths for the major veggies, corn, peas, beans, squash, ect. Thanks.
Hey! This was very helpful to me. We have to 130 acres of land in Phoenix. We are urban gardeners and looking to be more sustainable for ourselves, our family, and the community. This video was extremely helpful to me thank you.
Holy cow i feel half silly not ever using one of these i had zero idea how to really utilize the machine my wonderful wife got me. I thank you from the bottom of my heart for doing this video. Takecare and kerp healthy. Thanks again
Very Interesting, thank you!
Hi Mark! What would you suggest when using this seeder for planting a mixed cover crop….all the seeds would be a different size.
Veg oil turns rancid and can introduce bacteria to the seeds. Try mineral oil from the pharmacy. Good for many uses around the house, from treating cutting boards to a remedy for constipation. Cheaper than veg oil as well.
Been using my earthway more than 20 years. It’s so old mine is red plastic and aluminum. Great tool and still inexpensive. My local small town hardware store used to carry them. Home depot put them out of business.
Thanks for the demo! Happy planting.
Nice! I’m about to buy a seeder but don’t know what brand and model yet!
I use a little corn planter Graphite in my Earthway to lubricate the plate it is way better than any kind of oil that may cause seeds to stick or dust sticking.
