The sweet corn plate was dropping multiple seeds (sweet corn) at a time. Basically I over planted but still a decent crop. Any suggestions?

You might have the wrong plate installed. The one for green beans is larger and that would cause multiple seeds to drop. Also Different types of sweet corn are different sizes not only that but when they grade sweet corn at their plants they could have sent the wrong size,That would have been a mistake on their part.They would deny this but mistakes happen and companys do not want to admit that they made a mistake in grading.I know this because of being a farmer.also a smaller gear on the distribution box would cause the plate to spin faster and it would drop the seed faster.I am reffering to the older planters with interchangeable plates.The new planter of today are air driven and they do drop their seeds much closer together to increase production.

You're probably cooking it too long. Watch and listen as the corn pops. When the rate of popping slows down [see directions on bag], stop the microwave and note the time used to get to that point. Check your popcorn to see how much is still unpopped and whether it is burnt. With a little experimentation you can get a nice result. I've never been able to pop all the kernels without burning, but you can remove the popped corn and then tape up the bag and return the unpopped kernels for more heating.

The seeds fall through. (I had originally answered differently thinking of another feeder I have, sorry, my bad.)

In deed, the same thing happen to me. In fact, we lost it before the fall came along. I figured we got a enough vitamin and nutrients we needed for the grass to start growing. But it would have been nice for it to continue growing lush and full. Oh well. Nature is kind of strange in that way.....I look at it that Mother Nature knows what she is going. Good luck in future planting. Miss. Ducky

I let them grow until they started getting a little hard, then I harvested them and made 1 dish. There aren't a lot so might as well eat them all at once. The other side of the box didn't sprout for me.

Yes they need to be stratified... I don't know what happened but I wasn't successful , the seeds didn't grow :(

I used potting soil. My potato crop was extremely small in size and harvest numbers. My onions did not do well either, but my sweet potatoes were abundant although small. This season I am changing to bagged garden soil and see what happens.

nuts will turn to paste. I know it does corn very well. I don't know about seeds. I imagine the harder the seed the better it will grind. I'm sure the warrenty is voided because it will clog the machine.

Those are probably multiple seeds no? I would guess you keep it all together as one plant.

Agree with Morgaine and Rakhi. Give the grains time. Also, a small pinch of baking soda in the sugar mixture revved mine up......

The corn is thriving. I just bought another earthbox. I got a shoe box filled with seeds I don't know what I'll plant next. I really like this system.

It's hardy enough. I just didn't have good luck with popping corn in it. Moisture is held in and a lot of kernels don't get popped. Paper bag works better.

I have found that cleaning it with warm water after use right after use and only washing it occasionally with soap and water gets the best results. Make sure you lift up the part in the middle as kernals and popped corn likes to get stuck under there and can really effect the taste of future batches if you miss them. Good luck.

I have not had a problem with that. The Bremuda grass is slowly going away after 2 applications. I hope to get 2 or 3 more aplpications in this season, then hit it hard in early spring.

Hey Burrel, I just purchased the seed myself and have not been able to see how it is going to respond yet. Good luck!

We have used a bunch of different kinds of popcorn seeds and never had such a problem. Try a few different types and see if it is your machine generally.

Mine did. Okra, sweet corn, beans, beets, and peas. Some have other seeds listed on the side of the plate. That is, there are five, but several do more than one seed.
