Brinly planter vs earthway planter
Hi all,
Looking into buying a new brinly planter. I've tried the earthway planter with growing corn an a few other vegetables. I can only say the results where satisfactory. It did better with the corn, spacing wasn't too bad but could be better. I tried growing rutabaga, broccoli, and brussel sprouts and yea it didn't do very good at all with the spacing and also it ground the seeds up and yes I modified it with the pvc pipe end cap so it wouldn't grind it up but it still managed to get behind the seed plate. I'll be honest I was a bit of a klutz and the other day accidentally drove over it with our big tractor to an unrepairable shape.
I'd like to plant with npk next year and the earthway planter with a fertilizer attachment is close to $300. I do have a small cub cadet I do little odd jobs with and was wondering if a brinly planter could compare to an earthway. I am only planning on planting corn, beets or radishes, sunflowers, and maybe pumpkins in row crops. Since a used brinly planter with seeder and fertilizer attachment goes for around the same price around me as a new earthway planter with the same attachments, would it be worth buying a brinly to replace my earthway with planting corn? Does it do a close if not better job to the earthway? The cool factor of having a brinly is driving me to buy it but if it really is bad at planting I don't think I'll buy one
