Fantastic for a home garden.  The only issue is that seed hopper doesn't taper down to the seed plate pickup but is square across the bottom.  What this means is that you'll have a lot of seed left in the hopper and the seed plate can't pick it up.  I find myself shaking it from side to side or tilting at an angle as it's pushed (which screws up the exact planting depth).  If you buy your garden seed in the little packets, it'll be expensive.  However, guess the target users for this have bigger gardens and buy in bulk at garden/farm supply places.
