This is an excellent product and it makes short work of planting your garden. The planter is very efficient and makes super straight rows once you get started. I planted six rows of sweet corn and three rows of beans in less than 5 minutes.

First of all, I’m a gardener from way back. I helped my mom weed her flowers when I was still in the womb. I love garden gadgets and all things bliss-enhancing. When I was a teenager my grandfather bought the first incarnation of the Earthway Precision Garden Seeder and it was love at first shove. Not only does it plow the furrow, it plants the seeds at a precise depth and covers them up, it also marks the next row for you so that your garden doesn’t sprout into a psychadelic homage to 1970′s acid waves. I love, love, love this little jigger! It clogs from time to time, but if you’re watching every perfect little seed get tucked away neatly into it’s new earthly bed, you’ll catch it before you have to re-plant the entire garden. What took my father and me 2 hours last year to do by hand, we did in under 15 mintues using this little gem. An entire garden planted in 15 minutes! And not only that, but we hand-sowed a 1/4 acre plot of corn in under 25 mintues, stopping to pass off and admire the absolute fantastical spectacle of it all as it was happening. LOVE this thing!

I have a fairly big garden, so I decided to make my life a little easier next spring, and thus I bought this seeder. However, so far, it’s not what I thought I would be getting as far as a truly precision planter is concerned. The seeds dropped irratically and/or popped out of the bin because the plates would bind up then suddenly spring loose. I used different sized plates trying to find that exact match with the same results. I contacted the factory by email (their response was very quick) and was told to use bee’s wax and soap to make it work correctly. For the price of the unit, I expected something with less “after-market engineering” required by me to make it funtion as advertised. I refuse to admit defeat, so I’m keeping it and will continue to practice with it until spring. If it or I don’t get better, I know where you can get a used one cheap next summer!

The first time I used this product the plastic handle broke making it useless. It is a piece of junk
Richard P. Willard
It is awkward and uncomfortable to use so I just used my hand to throw out the fertilizer.
I think this is a waste of money and just does not work.
*rose*
Did not broadcast with any consistency, jamming at times, then suddenly working and dumping huge amounts of material in one place, then jamming again. Finally, the crank just came off in my hand, and after spreading the remaining fertilizer by hand, I threw the spreader over the fence. This, in my opinion, is another example of a large company making a few extra pennies by selling items manufactured at the lowest possible price. Do not WASTE MONEY on this piece of JUNK. I will think twice before buying anything again with the Scotts brand on it.

The Earthway Hand Operated Bag Spreader/Seeder is an excellent product.
We use it to spread seed for our food plots and seed any bare spots on our farm. Highly recommend.
Katherine J. Merritt
Spreader works great. Seems to be of good construction and probably holds about 20-25 lbs of lime or fert. I would recommend-
L. Ingram
I don’t have a huge yard, but I need to spread 15 lbs of fertilizer. This bag was excellent for me. It has a stop/go control and my hands didn’t get tired. I did end up hitting my legs with fertilizer, so I’ll have to figure out how to correct that next time I use it.

Everything about this spreader speaks quality, it is an Earthway after all. The only complaint I have is that the handle is pretty short. I feel like I have to adjust the way I walk behind it because of the handle. I don’t really, just feel like I should because you are walking closer to it. But then I forget about it and just “spread”.
Mary Edwards
This Earthway 2050P is the best spreader I have ever owned. It pushes really easy and has very even flow with any setting you desire, it is well made and looks to be very durable.

I live in a condo community, have a small yard and a small “common” front yard so I didn’t want a big spreader. I bought another brand that is green which failed to work well. This spreader was so easy to use and worked very well. I would recommend this to anyone with small areas to cover – easy to use, easy to load and spreads evenly. If mine died, I would buy another. I am impressed.

Kristin Gloege
This is the third hand-held spreader I’ve tried in the last month, and it is much better than the competition. In trying to spread a bag of Ironite on my lawn, two other brands which will remain nameless (one green, the other yellow, you will see them both in a certain home supply big-box store) jammed constantly, and eventually broke. This one would occasionally have trouble starting to spread (if granules were on/around the spreader wheel, I would have to shake/pick them out before starting to turn the crank), but once it was going, it kept going without jamming (protip: start turning the crank before pulling the trigger). On the downside, the capacity is not that great compared to other brands, and it left blisters on my index finger the first time I used it. You should wear leather work gloves if you’re going to operate this.
