Sowing zinnias & sunflowers in large patches

Is there such a thing to sow zinnia and sunflower seeds in large areas directly into the ground? My guess is that it would have to be two different devices because of the large size difference between the two. I need something that will save my aching back! I have a small tractor, if that matters, but would probably dont' want something like a broadcast spreader. There exist all types of seed planting implements, adjustible for differnet sized seed and adjustable for spacing... many attach to tractors. Naturally you don't want to scatter sunflower seeds with a spreader, the birds will scoff them down as fast as you can strew them about, you need an implement that digs a small furrow, drops seed, and covers them as you go. There are all kinds of manual implements as well. I can't advise you further about seeders until you say how large is your "large". It would also help if you indicate what are your intentions for your sunflowers, for landscaping because you think they're attractive or for a food crop... there are many types of sunflower. |
