Hand cranking tiny white clover seeds

[RGrizzzz]

Yes. You can close the opening just like any other spreader, and even take the hopper off in 3 seconds and use as a blower without that hefty thing up there.

How do you control the rate of seed?

I'm having trouble getting the tiny white clover seeds metered through my hand crank style seeder. The smallest gate setting still seeds too heavily. I can get a decent seed rate by mixing seed with granulated sugar but with sugar at a dollar a pound, this makes for an expensive addition to my costs. Has anyone else experienced/solved this problem?

Mixing saw dust with small seed has worked very well for me when I have had trouble getting the seeder aperture right in the past. With more experience on my seeder (I use the red-colored Earthway chest-mount spin cast seeder) I found that the lower aperture settings work pretty well for small seeds but I always end up walking a lot further doing multiple passes over the seed area since I tend to set the aperture too conservatively -- I don't want to run out of seed before covering the whole area.

Get an extreme blower spreader. Should be able to outfit one on a blower for under $150 all in. Bonus if you already have a battery tool platform. You'll never buy another disposable seed spreader the rest of your life (for small seeds).
