I'd like to grow about an acre of sunflowers no-till. I was about to order the JP JANG push seeder but because the ground is not going to to be nice and flat after a tilling I was recommended against using it. https://www.johnnyseeds.com/tools-supplies/seeders/jang-jp-1-push-seeder-7319.html?cgid=seeders#start=1&sz=18 I realize for a smaller scale production their are not many implements available for no-till BUT if anyone has any advice I would love to hear it. I know there is the JAB tool but I am worried that is going to take forever. Any new tools for no-till smaller scale production out there?! Thanks
For no till there are no seeders as far as I know on a small scale. you can get tractor sized drills that will do what you want but I don't know how small they go down to. I've seen them at 7ft and there are some made for the third world that are ground driven as well and those are probably smaller.
If you are using no-till, first clear the land of weeds, tall plants can be cut using scythe and after that smaller grass can be cut using brush cutter. Then you can make small channels using a Homi hoe which has a sharp end, then seeds can be dropped and covered using foot or Homi hoe itself
