The JP-1 was designed for small-scale market gardening, gardening, and homesteading, with small to medium seeds in mind. A wide range of customization makes the tool versatile and scalable. The construction is rugged, not minding rough terrain or damp soil. While more expensive than others, its ability to conserve seeds, save time and labor, and precisely seed large quantities of space quickly makes it worth every penny.
The durability and precision of seeding the JP-1 can accomplish is astounding and sets it apart. It’s highly adaptable to different-sized farms and gardens and is worth its weight in carrots.
Upon delivery, you’ll likely notice how well-built the JP-1 Jang Seeder is. It was designed and made using high-quality, heavy-duty materials. No detail was spared, from the grips on the handlebars to the long-lasting paint. With proper care, the JP-1 Jang Seeder should be the only seeder you ever have to purchase.
Additional parts that you can add on to expand its versatility:
At first glance, the Jang series seeders may seem complicated. Let’s dive into the various parts and how to calibrate them to understand how the JP-1 works.

The sprockets and the roller you choose will determine how far apart the seeds will be spaced when they drop. Placing the sprocket and chain on the JP-1 Jang Seeder works similarly to replacing a bike chain. Ensure the chain is snug on the sprocket before use. Adjust the brush to the level you need for the seed and load the hopper.
Whether you’re sowing 20 feet of carrots or two-hundred-foot beds of spinach, the Jang is a tank in the fields. Seeding will be quicker, and due to the dense and accurate germination, time will be saved on weeding and thinning, resulting in abundant harvests.
Jang seeders singulates seeds in the hopper through the roller, allowing only one seed to drop at a time. This decreases seed waste, labor spent on thinning seedlings, seeder jamming, and overcrowded beds. If the user wants more seeds to drop for a thicker seeding, simply raise the brush to allow more seeds to fall out.
Overcrowded seedlings compete for nutrients, water, space, and sunshine. Under-spaced seedlings compete with weeds for the same resources and leave you with under-utilized bed space that should be making you money. With the precise seedling of the JP-1 Jang Seeder, seeds fall where you want them, and seedlings are perfectly spaced out for increased yields and profits.
While the JP-1 Jang Seeder is heavy and can handle rocky terrain and damp soil, you may yield better results by preparing your garden beds by clearing debris, creating a weed-free zone, and leveling the surface. To learn how to control weeds and prep beds using silage tarps, check out our article on this topic.
The Jang seeder series can accommodate various-sized seeds, but the JP-1 Jang Seeder is known for sowing tiny seeds in large quantities in 30-inch market garden beds or on homesteads. This table shows some popular crops often sown using the JP-1 Jang Seeder and the roller recommendations based on farmer trials. Adjust based on your needs, but start here.
The number on the roller refers to the amount of holes in the roller and the letter or letters refer to the size of those holes. The body of the Jang seeder features a roller and crop spacing chart that you can reference in the field if needed. This will indicate what hole/sprocket combinations for seed spacing are possible.

Market gardeners typically succession plant greens, carrots, radishes, and lettuce every three to four weeks. The range for days to maturity depends on variety, time of year, and whether you prefer your greens baby or full-size. Also, consider how long one bed of each crop lasts you. The goal is to harvest from subsequent sowings around the same time the previous sowing is cleared out. You may adjust the timing between sowings based on forecasted temperatures, soil conditions, and harvest amounts.
Here is a sample of what a market garden sowing schedule might look like, using the JP-1 specifications above.

The “Date of First Harvest” column is useful information when determining the accuracy of your suggested next succession sowing date.
Pro tip: Keeping records like this can be challenging when the farm is busy. Practice snapping daily photos of new things happening on the farm to refer back to later.
Your ability to succession plant will depend on the weather and bed space available. If you’re new to succession planting, the more records, the better. Adjust in real time as needed and as bed space opens up. This could change from season to season based on customer demand.
If you regularly sow beds of 6 to 12 rows of seeds, consider the other versions of the Jang seeder, like the 6-row, so you can make fewer passes per bed, saving you even more time. The JP-1 can also accommodate additional rollers and hoppers. Our sales team would be happy to help you if you need to special order additional parts or a different model.
As precise as the JP-1 Jang Seeder can be, there are nuances and a learning curve. Using it regularly, tracking results, and keeping notes will help you get the hang of it with limited frustration. For all the ins and outs of the parts, roller, and sprockets, as well as a comprehensive order of operations for seeding, check out our Jang Seeder 101 article.
Familiarize yourself with the JP-1 Jang Seeder before completing a sowing in the field. This will save time and frustration.
As a small-scale farmer who has used the JP-1 Jang Seeder for four seasons, I know that using this tool can easily feel over-complicated if you allow it to. However, if you trust your instincts, closely monitor your fields, and track your results, you might also find your farm doesn’t require as many of the adjustments as the seeder is capable of.
We have simplified our JP-1 Jang Seeder process by focusing on two seed spacings, using four rollers, and not adjusting the depth often. We’ve found this saves valuable time and makes the process easier to do quickly. Our germination rates drastically improved after the first season of getting to know the tool and dialing it into our needs.
I’ll offer this farmer hack: Remove the guide plate. We’ve had much success with this. Some seeds get caught up in this felt-lined plate, causing uneven seed placement. We’d rather a few more seeds drop than end up with bare spots.
If you’ve struggled with seed waste, spent hours in the fields thinning carrot or spinach seedlings, or aren't impressed with your germination rates, it’s time to invest in the JP-1 Jang Seeder.
When the benefits are considered, push seeders are an inexpensive alternative to mechanical seeders and are more efficient and cost-conscious on a small scale. Don’t let the seeder price scare you off; it will pay for itself after the first season. Time is the most valuable resource on a farm. Precision seeding with the JP-1 Jang Seeder removes the need for weed control and thinning, saving time, money, and body aches.
Investing in the JP-1 Jang Seeder is investing in your time and your physical health. You’ll be rewarded with increased germination rates, decreased weeds, and higher yields. It will quickly become your reliable farming sidekick. Plus, it will save you from bending over to direct seed by hand and is much more durable than other seeders on the market.
Pro tip: Don’t get caught without extra parts! One of the downfalls to its advanced, adaptable design is various small pieces that hold the tool together that can easily be lost. Order spares of everything, even a hopper, and keep them in a safe place on the farm.
Yes, with multiple-sized and shaped rollers, the JP-1 Jang Seeder can handle a wide range of seed sizes, from arugula and baby greens to pelleted carrots and peas. Remember, you can buy blank seed rollers and customize your own for your enterprise.
All rotating parts should be lubricated regularly. Do not lubricate the seed rollers. Check the brush, guide plates, and rubber pieces for compaction over time and replace them as needed. Remove caked-on soil, amendments, compost, etc. from the wheels and other parts, as continual residue may lead to the tool working improperly. Get in the habit of doing this before storing it after each use.
