Hoss Garden Seeder
The Hoss Garden Seeder is the most durable and versatile walk-behind garden planter! It makes planting easy with our innovative seed plate design that allows you to customize your planting to meet your exact needs. USA MADE!
Description
The Hoss Garden Seeder allows you to easily plant your vegetable garden with accuracy and precision. Our innovative seed plate design allows you to easily customize seed plates to fit the variety of seed you're planting. Seed plates lie flat in the hopper and can be easily changed without wasting excess seed.
The Hoss Garden Seeder has a rolling coulter or rolling disk that opens a furrow for the dropping seed. This double disk furrow opener works great in soils that have heavy organic residue from prior vegetable or cover crops. Once the seed drops into the planting furrow, the drag chain covers the seed and the rear wheel packs the soil to ensure optimal germination.
The Hoss Garden Seeder is constructed with Amish-crafted hardwood handles, 15″ steel wheels, and a powder-coated steel frame. The handles are adjustable to the users height. The steel frame ensures the unit is stable and easy to push in a straight line along the row.

Add the Hoss Drill Hopper
A big learning curve compared to my old seeder. The ground must be soft and flat or it will not seed correctly. I have seeded black eye peas and recently 4 more rows of corn. The number on the disc is close but some seeds are just the wrong size. You may get more seeds than you planned for. Quality is the best. The depth needs to have markings on it to tell how deep you are going. Locked up once with corn. I am glad I can play with it before crunch time in the spring. Still Thebes seeder going. I would like to review again in the spring after the big seeding takes place.
Well made and adjustable handles are great for a 6'-7" gardener.

Well made. Simple to assemble. Simple to use. Used it to seed a few rows of sunflowers. I think I used the #4 plate. Not perfect but effective enough. I also bought the drill hopper but haven't used it yet. I think the seeder is most is accurate when the hoppers are full. Which requires a good amount of seeds. I don't think any manual seeder will ever get a 5 stars review. This is well worth the extra $$$ compared to the Earthway. And less expensive and easier to use than the Jang, but perhaps not quite as accurate . This hits the sweet spot as far as im concerned. I liked this product so much, I immediately pulled the trigger on the high arch two wheel hoe a week after this purchase.
Develop a plastic box that can attach to the wooden handles that can store all seed plates, hopper and other parts. Have everything together instead of trying to remember where everything is.
