THIS GARDENING TOOL SAVED MY LIFE.....

What happens here

The presenter prepares to plant sweet corn (Non-GMO Golden Queen 2018). He loads the corn seed plate into the planter. He then pours the corn seeds from a bag (a half-pound bag, estimated to cover a 100-foot row) into the planter's hopper. The garden has already been tilled and mounded into rows about 3 feet apart. He begins pushing the planter along the end of a row. He advises tilting the planter slightly to ensure seeds drop correctly and to proceed slowly, about 1 mph, to achieve proper spacing. The planter digs a furrow, drops seeds, and then covers them with soil. He mentions that even if it doesn't feel like seeds are dropping, you can often hear them.

Goal: After selecting the correct seed plate and setting the depth, corn seeds are poured into the hopper, and the planter is pushed along prepared rows to sow them.
