Good to hear from you Dillard, thanks for the feedback.
I'm thinking one of these planters would be overkill for my little garden. I can only see me using it for beans and peas and that comes up to around 250' of rows. That takes a while with a hoe and hand dropping, but it's doable.
What you said about running the hopper low causing problems is a biggie. I don't ever see planting more than a pound or so of peas or beans at one time. Running only that much in the hopper would most likely cause skips, though. I would need to overload the hopper by a pound or so to get the seed peas to feed properly. That isn't impossible and peas can be stuck in the freezer and used the next year. But, it isn't optimal for sure. I probably need to just stick with what I'm using now...at least I'll know seeds are positively where I go through the actions of placing them. If I was planting a half-dozen or so 100' rows I'd probably go for it but I'll only be planting 100' at a time at the maximum.
I appreciate that bit of knowledge about the low-hopper/skip situation. Again, information like that only comes from experience!
