This is the seeder we use to plant most of the fall/winter & some of the spring crops. It has a white plate which moves the seeds around and they come out through an opening and get planted in the ground with the small plow attached at the bottom. The seed plates can be changed for different seed sizes. It is very quick to use.
This illustrates that each vegetable has its own spacing requirements. The above shows a very wide row - typically a large squash vine such as Lunga di Napoli needs this much room. This is most likely a 6 ft. wide row.
