Product Description

Sow your vegetable seeds while fertilizing at the same time! This garden seeder saves you time by eliminating that second trip to the garden for fertilizing! This advanced gardening tool has an integrated 10-pound Fertilizer Hopper, with a flow control for fertilizer densities of 1 pound, 2 pounds, or 3 pounds for every 100 feet. As the seeds are sowed, a side dressing of fertilizer is dispensed in one simple, easy motion, without bending or stooping! In a single pass, the garden seeder opens the soil, plants the seeds, fertilizes them, covers them, and marks the row simultaneously. The adjustable depth shovel permits planting at each variety's ideal ground depth. Both wheels are concave and cleated, which means the front wheel will break the clots of dirt and the back wheel will mold a mound over the seed as well as cleat it for proper drainage. This all-in-one unit is lightweight, easy to maneuver, and rear-wheel activated for positive, even seeding! Other Features include: It only weighs 14 pounds! Includes its own seed plate storage case. 6 different seed plates to handle variations in 31 common vegetable seed sizes. Pouch mounted on the handle bars to hold extra seed, notes, gloves, and other needed items. Assembly level/degree of difficulty: Easy. Made in America

1.0 out of 5 stars Garden seeder by Midwest products, August 1, 2009

I had purchased this seeder what a mistake, there is a slider to regulate seed depth and I did not have one with
the right markings. I called them over five times and she sent me a label without any diagram on the proper
placement. I used it anyway and left at one depth and it has ruin my garden some of my seeds did not come up
because of it. I ordered mine from Harris seed. They sent me a mailer to send it back and Harris seed is not
having this product in their catalog anymore due to handling Harris seed customers bad. I am going with the
Earthway next year that is a better product don't buy this plastic and metal contraption. The row marker is garbage
it doesn't even mark the row right. Hope this helps others, if I knew I was going to have this I certainly wouldn't have
purchase this product..

This review is from: Vegetable Garden Seeder (Red/Yellow) (41.5"H x 15"W x 30"D)

For starters, I bought this pile from Nasco and when it showed up it was half assembled. No big deal I thought, I am pretty handy. One hour later and after re-drilling and filing out the holes to get it to fit together, it is a flimsy piece of crap. I have had an Earthway brand for years, but in my tough soils, I needed one that was rear wheel drive, so as I am pushing the opener through the soil, the front drive wheel isn't slipping. I found this one as a rear wheel drive unit and thought it was the ticket. Nope. The concept of the the pressure on the rear is good, but it sticks and flips seeds everywhere when the belts slips and grabs again.
I also thought the fertilizer hopper thing would be cool but it just drops the seed next to the row. I had hoped that it would place it in the furrow with the seed. Another disappointment was the fertilizer metering "device". This is just a hole with a sliding gate that the fertilizer doesn't flow through evenly. It either clumps and doesn't flow or it runs when you hit a bump.
I didn't even install my "row marker" as it looked like it wouldn't work and wouldn't stay up when not needed.
I tried to find some info on this product before I bought it but their website sucks like their product and now I know why the site was so vague.
Save yourself the trouble and buy something else.
