Interesting. Even though I am an old retired lady, and I haven't lived on a farm in many decades I find your videos very entertaining. I love it when your kids pop up from time to time.
💜🌎❤️ From Michigan USA.
I'm 61 and I, too, haven't been on a farm in decades. I totally agree with you that these videos are entertaining. I also find them a great distraction from our daily news. I find Danny, the youngest, to be the most enjoyable to watch. The way he sticks to his dad tells me there is a future farmer growing up in that family! Finally, I was born in Detroit and lived for several years in the Marshall / Battle Creek area. Simpler days.
I am a retired little old lady one state to the left. I always laugh that when anybody asks someone from MI, WI, or ME where do we live in our state, we can simply hold up our palm and point. I like this channel because it gives me some idea how my Scandinavian ancestors lived.
Those garden tools are so cool. They look just like the ones my grandpa had for his garden when I was a kid. He always had a big garden as did we. There were seven kids in my family so a big garden was a must. I hope to find good vintage versions of these that I can use. If I can't it is always good to know an alternate source for gardening tools. Thank you so much for showing these.
Because of the metal used in the vintage models, they will be heavier than the newer ones. I have several of my grandfathers and they are hard to use because they are heavy and unwieldy. I am 63 so that may be why I don't care for them as much because I don't have the strength or mobility of a younger person.
That's really a good seeder and so is the other tool. Very handy to change for different sizes of seeds. Hope your weather continues to be as good. Thanks for the awesome video and sharing with us. God bless you and your family and in all you do always.
Really glad I came across this video. For entry-level, finding a decent manual seeder and affordable wheel-hoe has been a tremendous challenge here in the UK. This Ukrainian manufacturer may be our saving grace. Thanks for the upload.
these are two huge beer bottles caps :)
Tomas Kovacik hilarious!
Well I did hear they like to drink a lot of alcohol in that part of the world. At least the old beer bottle caps are doing to good use.😁
ha - spot on !
In ukraine those are normal sized caps.
I love simple tools that do the job. Thanks for the video
Thank you for the review! We've got one of these from Varomorus on Amazon in the US, it works just perfect!
Thats why old timers tools always win cause they are made to do the job good, fast and easy
There is something satisfying seeing old style tools being used today.
SOOO TRUE !!! Plus they LAST if taken care of
Wishing you all the best! Good luck with your garden.
Real nice tool! The big wheels also keep the soil away from the axels, so it doesn,t clog as easy.
Love to see Eastern tools appreciated! ;) Especially considering that many things are just sold as German (they just put the stickers on), but produced for example in Poland.
That was really interesting. Thank You.
Thanks for the video 'it's nice to see good quality tools instead of the garbage from china we are forced to buy cause we can't get products hare in Canada and the US with good quality .everything here is 90 % chinese junk so i look forward to seeing more videos of good tools for small gardens .thankyou .
Got to love a man in love with his seeder! 😍🥰😘❤️❤️❤️😝😜🤪
you live a peaceful engaging life life out there on that farm. cheers
This looks a great tool I think it will be fantastic on my veg plot
How about a follow up on how the contraption worked? Was the spacing good? or was it spotty?
Maybe a short video of the stand before harvest.
I'm looking for a seeder and was hoping to see the results of using this single row seeder. Any updates on how it performed? thanks
Still waiting for someone to answer
Your new seeder looks great. It looks like if you loosened the bolt where the handle meets the seeder you could pivot it and tighten on an angle. It which would make it easier to do from the walkway without standing in your bed
I have a similar 4 row seeder from Johnnys seeds in Maine USA there were similar problems and even the noise, The problems were fixed by removing the axle and very lightly sanding (with emery cloth, 400 grit) the inside of the holes where the axle fits in. Also Very lightly sanding the axle going around the axle not from end to end. The tabs on the bottom each hopper were rubbing the axle which made the noise and caused most of the drag. These tabs can be very gently adjusted so they didn't rub on the axle, I used a piece of cloth on the tabs to avoid making marks and a pair of pliers for greater control. After these adjustments my seeder works very well.
Wonderful video Thank You 😊
Very cool! Our farm has up to 24” black loose soil and wood chips on top so im looking forward to trying to find such a seeder.
please contact me by e-mail info@garmach.com
Good vid...i just ordered the seeder...befor i seen yur vid...looks like it should work good thank yu for reveiw..cant wait to get mine😀
Any updates after trying the seeder? Is it accurate and reliable?
You should look into the Earthway Precision Garden Seeder Model-1001-B. I have been using one for several years and am very happy with it. You can change the different sized seed plates in less than 30 seconds. The seed plates and the seed hopper is only made of plastic but I have not had any issues with it. You can adjust the depth of the seed placement, and it drags a chain behind the row that covers the seeds as you go.
I know about that seeder. This company makes seeder in that category as well. This however is a different product for 1/10 of the price.
But its 5 x the price
The attachments for the weeder looks to be attached with bolts. Go to your tractor supplier and pick up a few locking pins that will fit in the holes, that way you can change between the tools in seconds without any tools.
NoC ‘tractor supply company’-Lol.
I very much enjoy your videos. And I'm saving up so that I might come back to Europe and meet you and your farm. I enjoyed my experience in the early 70s while stationed in Germany. But I think there's several European countries that are doing devastating harm to their individual countries. I don't mean to be political. And I am definitely not politically correct. We're kind and friendly and helpful but most importantly realistic about what's happening in that part of the world. You have a beautiful farm and family and I very much enjoy your videos and knowledge. Everybody should understand that we learn everyday and can't say we know everything about everything. God bless you and your family. And how about making some T-shirts
Those tools are exactly what I would also expect to see used here in the more rural areas of the Czech republic, where 'home-grown' is still very much a thing. The wheels on that German object would only ever work on flat, compacted clay!
Have that same 4 row seeder and have same problems that you do. Really interested in that other seeder.
looks like couple of 'winners' & that handtiller is going to lower fatigue factor & back ; signed up on FB , so will b checking in from over that way too
Right tool for the job!
You are a good seeder.
Awesome tools
Thanks!
We all learn from our mistakes. The Garmach tools seems to be great though, and I'm sure you've had more than one look at them.
Hi Simeon. Good information. I'm glad you found a couple of tools that will work so well for you. Also, I just want to let you know that this video is not on the Vimeo channel. Thanks!
Oh, thanks for reminding me. Forgot to upload it to Vimeo as I was a bit stressed.
You just can't beat steel for out door tools .I do have one almost like that one you have, but mine is over a100 years old so nothing wrong with old garden tools. happy Trails
Use graphite to lubricate the four row seeder. It is a dry lubricant that can be applied and won’t draw dirt like a wet/oily lubricant would.
How is this seeder holding up? Judging by the way it worked you could have bought the multiple seeder and use them customized if you wanted. Would like to see an update on you using this seeder again and your updated opinion on this!!!
Hi,
nice video. I'm very interested by this product for next season. How was it working on a long run ? Did you use it with smaller seed like carrot or lettuce ?
just what I really need.
l was useing a simular one 25 + years ago great for larger seeds
So they’re not good for small seeds? Only larger?
Thanks for the cool video! Do you think this seeder would plant small seeds like kale or Turnip?
Just got my cultivator and seeder delivered and i'm really impressed with the build quality. I wish the knifes of cultivator were less flimsy as i believe any friction could lead to unnecessary wear but i think i can solve this by putting a piece of sheet metal between the frames.
I really hope it can let me stay on top of weeds for my garlic field this year. I'ts the lowest priority side project so it always suffers.
Interestingly i had checked the seller's website when i was looking for a tractor - pulled garlic planter, but i didn't notice they were selling stuff like this aswell.
So thanks for this review, it was very helpful.
How was the seeder? Is it accurate and reliable?
@@agdayem It is. The soil has to be properly prepared as it struggles with bigger chunks but overall it is doing well.
@@matains88 Thanks!
simple is better, well done
you weather parallels ours in Vancouver: a long winter, wet cold spring and now a quick lurch into hot days. We have province-wide flooding du3 to the quick melting of the mountain snowpack.. strange days.
Yeah, there is a lot of flooding in northern Sweden from 1,5m of snow that are melting in 25C° right now...
no, the weather there parallels ours here in Minnesota, where we have a long BRUTAL winter, short spring into full summer, but only about 3 warm months, june july and august. May and september the days vary and can be cold or warm. April and October are quite cool.
Agreed! Would be nice if the weather lingered in between for a while. My family is native to the Barnstin island area and its definitely flood watch time.
Nice review/presentation. Do you have to go back and cover the seeds with soil?
They don't sell that seeder on the link you posted.
I need one like that pam choi
Hi! Im in contact with rosta about buying seeder from them. It’s really good price! Can you please comment on if you’re happy with the seeder or not?
Nice review, thanks a lot. Can you maybe give some impressions on your experience with that one after 2 years? I'm really having a hard time finding reviews on seeding carrots with that model. Any update on that? Thanks and welcome to Austria ;-)
Yes please someone let us know did it work accurately and reliably ???
you can twist the handle so you dont have to twist your body while walking. These seeders work best holding it level with the top of the seeder being a reference. You have to close the row behind it because it doesnt cover the seed. Which is nice to verify the seed is placed.
😹😹I love it, I have spent the summer putting seeds into tissue paper(toilet rolls) I make 1 meter lengths at a time pulling apart the layers as I buy a good quality non-bleached non scented stuff😹😹 and dampen the tissue paper place one seed at a time at the distance needed and then fold over the tissue paper let it dry on a rack once dry I fold up ready to be planted into the beds in the spring but after seeing you using that new seeder I loved how easy it was to change out the feeder and I noticed that how easy for you to run it over the ground.🙀🤗
Have you thought of modifying the German made seeder by putting new wheels on it that are bigger, sorry I am a fan of modifying something if it don’t work the way I want.☺️😹
I loved the baby hoe that you used for weeding the garlic, it looks like it would be also great for the small gardener like me to also turn over the garden beds. I will have to see if I can get it here in Australia if not I will see if my Uncle can get it for me and send it 😹😹
I only found your TH-cam this morning and have been vegging out on some of your past videos and I love your approach to sustainable farming it’s like stepping back into a time warp before all the stupid practise that have been used in the past 60-70 years
I have noticed a lot of the younger farmers today have been going back to the old way of farming and not focusing on one or two types but focusing on the whole as one unit like you have been doing. And the results are good.
I would love to have chickens but sadly I am allergic to their droppings and every time I go near it I brake out in hives not a pretty look that’s for sure. And being rugged up to the tees so I can work with the ground is not much fun so I have to look at other options like ducks or geese lol but I will be testing out one problem first at a friends farm as they have both and help clean out the barn area where the birds sleep and live during the colder months and if no reaction in the first 10 minutes then I will go,ahead with them 😹😹😹 yep it takes only 5-10 minutes for me to break out in hives from chickens even my next door neighbour had to move his hen house to the other side of his yard because of the dust blow off that comes my way 🙄😳🙄😳
I was sorry to hear about Sally but my Aunt who breeds Shetland Sheep she has done the same thing and a good leader is the one who answers to her calls as in the case with you and those gorges girls that you have 🤗🤗🤗
I have this Ukrainian seeder, but with 5 rows :) I used it only once so far, so I'm not sure about it yet. Hello from Russia🖐️
Where did you get this - you have tons of size wheels?
Great video. Thank you. I like to by a seeder. The price in Denmak is 80 € not 30 € as you wrote. I can see that they do not have any middelmen en Sweeden, Can I by one from you?
All those tools are available on ebay. Just write "rosta seeder" in the search box.
Can you control the depth of planting of the actual seeds with that seeder?
Thanks for the product info ! As an aside, how is your tennis elbow feeling after using the new weeder?
I still have issues with it. Not specifically related to the weeder though.
Always something, isn't it? You keep up with everything, you ought to get a "special trophy" just for making it through with that sore elbow. Hopefully, you won't have a need to use crutches; that can really make your elbow "sing". From my experience, a support band above and below while you are working keeps the area from over working. Good luck...
Nice tool always great to see them actually being used..
🌻Have a beautiful day🌻
Can the weeder be bought on amazon?
Not sure where they sell it. The link in the description is from the European retailer.
You can get it from www.garmach.com info@garmach.com
How does it work and how is the distance of the seeds especially on onions.
Very nice tool. Havent found possibility to buy at the given link (nor with google).
What is the prize? In comparison?
It costs about €30.
I am sure that you could fix the multi seeder by pulling the axle out and do some sanding or whatever to make it run smoother.
Put bigger wheels on it and that would help with the problem as well, I am sure from watching your videos that you could
figure something out.
right. but buying new tool is easier (or was this a product placement? and he didnt pay for it? -> way easier!!)
The thing is that it will get hard to turn as soon as some dust/sand/dirt gets in there. Also, putting on bigger wheels will elevate it above the soil so that the seeds don't fall in to the right depth...
But why does he have to modify a tool that is supposed to work as is?
yay! Go Poland!
The seeder looks nice, but I prefer the Jang seeder. It does a great job with small seeds and set up time is a fraction of the time.
For $400 it had better be good.
They build those kind of seeders as well. You can't compare the two different products. This one costs $30 and is ment to be simpler.
For $400 it should be self-propelled.
I've always said: Use the right tool for the job!
Do you know if this is sold in the USA?? Thanks
How does using this 'tiller' relate to you claiming your bed to be "no dig"? That's a fair bit of intrusion / digging you're doing right there with the weeding!
I think that by 'no dig' people mean they do not turn the ground (after season/after the crop) - you have to dig for example to get the root plants.
Hi, I'm Polish. Poland is in Central Europe. :)
Is it possible to change to put larger wheels on the multi-row seeder ?
When I first saw it last year I thought the wheels were too small.
It is just like a tractor that has large rear wheels for ability to roll over rough ground.
I know that it is a bother to modify it but then you would have a multi row seeder.
I don't think you could put bigger wheels on it because the seeder wouldn't reach the soil anymore.
I don't have either seeder in my hands so I can not see how they actually function. You can not make the multi row seeder function like the large wheeled single row seeder ?
Please where do I get to buy it from Ghana?
Ha, works 'sow' nice.
Almost didn't watch too long of ad w/ no skip option >:( But another interesting video :)
Love the industrial safety crocs :)
why arent there two small blades and the end of the tool wich throw soil back on seeds after seeding? Would be very easy.
This is a very simple seeder for simple hobby tasks. They make more advanced seeder as well.
Would you know where I they have a pricelist for there tools?
please contact me by e-mail info@garmach.com
Is it really made in germany?
It looks like you could've had them send you their 4-row seeder and just removed the additional 3 units.
🌺
Can we get this in the UK
I'm trying to find where to buy it from in the EU and prices
Hi Tristan, did you find where to buy the tools?
💖💖💖💖💖
How did you get one of these I have found the firm that makes them and have tried to order online but failed to get anywhere also sent them lots of emails but I get no reply to any of my emails
please contact me by e-mail info@garmach.com
Hi, what do you say now about this seeder after some use? I want to buy a seeder just can't make up my mind, the jang seeder seems the best but £900 is a bit too expensive, next would be the earthway or pannongep.hu/en/vetogepek/, (looks a bit too plastic) they have some wheeled hoes aswell that look good.
Any one tried this seeder for a while now?
How is it? Is it accurate?
Looks like a good piece of equipment. I'm all about items NOT made in china.
There was deep knowledge of organic farming in pre-war Europe. It would
be good to get some knowledge out of Eastern Europe, Germany and elsewhere.
Where traditional farming was at least partially kept in use.
Link of where to buy the seeder
It is in the description.
Thanks
cant find posibillity to buy at given link
I can't either. Just the company page and info
They have a chat function.
It should allow you to put the handle on either side. It looks SUPER AWKWARD having to pull it like that.
I am not sure why you think that. I can’t think of a way to use this that gives you more control over the tool. Pulling is much more acurate than pushing it I think. It was very ergonomic as well.
I would say the four row seeder made the rows too close together anyway. You are better off with the new one.
Kaise mangwa I
Are those seeders available online?
havent found them yet
garmach.com/en/p/rosta-en/hand-planters-and-seeders/seeder-for-small-seeded-crops-smk-1/?
yes, I have seeders available online, please contact me by e-mail info@garmach.com
Why don't you take the big wheels off the single feeder. And. Put. Them. On the 4 row feeder
. . . I see: you are a real engineer - btw: have you seen the German Movie " Das kleine Arschloch " ?
How much did the seeder cost?
It costs about 30€.
The best seeder for small seeds is the Jang seeder designed by the communist North Koreans, to them such a planter and style of farming is literally life or death...and hence, they designed the best planter in the world for this style of farming. The best hand tools for weeding and soil work are made by the Dutch and Swiss and Japanese, not the germans!! Dutch are just crazy about gardening evidently. If you want a seeder for large seeds, well Jang makes one of those too, I haven't tried it, and I'm sure it's pricey. Small seeds are really the trick so that's why I invested in the expensive jang seeder. I own the Hoss Tools planter attachment for their wheel hoe which works pretty good for large seeds (not for small). And Hoss now has a standalone seeder with a double disc furrower to dig the planting hole which is even better than their wheel hoe seeder attachment. If you have nicely groomed and packed beds, the wheel hoe seeder attachment works pretty good, if not get their standalone seeder which can handle rougher conditions.
This company makes seeder equivalent to the Jang seeder. This is a different product for 1/10 of the price.
well someone needs to make a review/comparison between these two comparible seeders, the jang has many reviews and youtube videos produced by market gardeners. But yes, this seeder looks much better and smoother than your german seeder. I always thought that german seeder looked cheap, tinny, and awkward/clunky movement and operation!
Did you grow up on a farm?
Since I was 15. Went to farming school for 3 years.
Sir I want to one pice
Send me please with price in rands
you still make things out of metal over there. everything in North America is made of plastic
Check Varomorus on Amazon, they have these seeders.
this is never a Germany Seeder
was not properly video better if you review ur video for.more clearer viewing
