Here is our JPH-2 that we purchased from Woodward Crossings in early Summer. Its use this year (2011) will be limited. Our 2012 system will be based on this two row unit and a 3-row custom belly-mounted gang of JP-1s, under an Allis Chalmers G. I'm hoping to blog more about that in the months to come.

Where do I begin!? This year has been an absolutely amazing journey. We built some important infrastructure, conducted our first CSA, sold at the Oakland Farmers' Market in Pittsburgh, had a relatively successful growing season and not least important, Edible Earth Farm purchased additional acreage. Looking back at our year, I try to identify the things that were factors to our success. One of those things definitely turned out to be the Jang JP-3 seeder. It was a great purchase. It ranks up there with the tractor and the mulch layer. Check out some of our results with the Jang JP-3 at the our Flickr site. For more information about the Jang JP-3, contact me at

This post explains roller selection and seed spacing using the Jang seeder. It is important to note that this post is still in somewhat of a draft state. I intend to update it as I learn more about the Jang seeder. Please feel free to contact me if you have some information, questions or corrections. You can contact me at:   [read more....]
