I've used one for two seasons now, and I'm pretty happy. They are the best tool for the price and really straight forward to use. Sometimes tiny round seeds like arugula can get behind the plate, and I also think the beets plate spits out an inappropriate amount of seeds, but I'm going to try and modify it so it uses less seed. We'll be getting 3 or 4 more this season so we can bolt them together. We'll mount them right next to each other for planting cover crops, and we'll also connect them using a bar and clamps and a threaded rod thru the back axel so we can plant 2-3 rows per bed at different spacing which will giver us straight rows that make cultivating easier (with a wheel hoe). Take time preparing your seedbed, it saves time in the long run.
