What customers say
Gardeners value the Chapin Seeder for significantly speeding up planting large seeds like corn and beans, noting its consistent depth and spacing when calibrated correctly. The included seed plates add welcome versatility. However, performance drops notably with smaller, lighter seeds such as carrots or lettuce. Users frequently report skipping and clogging with these smaller varieties, often requiring manual adjustments for acceptable results. While the overall quality meets expectations for the price, some long term users question the durability of plastic parts like the wheels and hopper. This seeder excels for specific, larger seed tasks but its inconsistent operation across all seed types limits its universal appeal.
