** Edit - I failed to mention the adjustable plow at the bottom of the unit. An important adjustment for proper seeding **
Join me as I try out the Chapin Garden Seeder model 8701B, purchased from Amazon. I also do some tilling with my Kubota B2601 compact tractor and Land Pride RGA 1258 forward tine rotation tiller. Is this automatic seed planter right for you? Join along to see how to plant Indian corn. #MCGtv #B2601 #Gardening

I have a Chapin seeder. Used it for two years now. I have added weight to the end of the row marker to make the line more visible. Had and Earthway before this one. I like the Chapin better.

I wasn’t expecting much of a video hoping it would show me kinda what this seeder does but man this was a very great video. You showed every single aspect of the product shown. You was extremely thorough. Not any senseless babbling just straight to the point with just enough of “corny” jokes thanks for making a great video

Hello from Hancock Farm & Seed Co.! Awesome video and very informational! Thanks for the shout out! Store the seed in a cool, dry location. We recommend trying to plant the seed within one year to ensure that the seed will still have majority germination and you will have great results. Happy Planting!

Chris Hancock hey Chris, thanks for the comment! I actually planted another much larger plot too. I’ve used at least half of the bag by now. I’ll definitely store the balance as you recommended. The corn from this video is now 8-10” and thriving. Thanks! -Ed

I bought one and found if the soil is loose and loamy the front tire sinks in the dirt. This caused place with no seeds others with way to many. Spent 3 days transplanting corn to fill in the spaces. Next time I'm going to make sure the soil is a little packed down. That was sweet corn, it plant my string beans good. I had to thin then out later though.

Used an Earthway for many years but found it to be a bit flimsy. It works well but has needed a bit of repair through the years. This one looks a bit sturdier. Good video.

@MyClutteredGarage 4 жыл бұрын

Haha thanks! It would be fun to have matching tractors! I had fencing all around when we had sheep but that was a while ago. We started putting the garden in the back yard thinking there would be less chance for deer. The rows are probably 50’ long. I think the corn rows should be more like 24” apart but we’ll see. I’m going to plant another patch in a different spot too. Thanks for watching and commenting. Hope you’re having a good spring!
