LOL, that is for sure regarding perfection, with natural things, any carpenter worth his salt will tell you that with wood, definitely agree and understand that.

The plate labeled corn that I used last year, seemed to do ok, but at first this year I planted a row(which I would have to hand pollinate anwyay, but its safe and no critters can get in, fits perfect in that garden just behind tomatoes) in my upper garden, it dropped like 5 seeds, ok, so I figured darned cob webs or some obstruction, blew that out, then the darned thing drops too many, ok, probably better that way, then just buy more, sometimes I get it in my head, things are supposed to work like they should, in reality, not as much as you would like!

I saw a you tube video where a guy very nicely described the same problem, used the bean plate, taped up half the holes, I tested that one out, seemed better than the corn plate, double every other. I thought the corn plate would drop so many I did not have enough seed and yet I do know what I ordered the year before and what it planted, and had left over, something seemed off, no time to order more, the usual farmer crunch type deal LOL ! Figured I'd see what others use or do.

Well, I'll hand cultivate, and replant with the other plate, at least it will stagger, and I'll have corn til the end of september, its in a great spot and lately we seem to get hot weather with humid conditions later so, it should be ok, if not, theres always next year LOL !
