[USCC] Seeding from a conveyor?

[Frank Franciosi]

Matt,
You need a volumetric feeder. I used one to add perlite to a potting mix and
stationed it over the fines conveyor. Go to http://www.powderbulk.com where
you'll find the manufacturers of this type of equipment.

Subject: [USCC] Seeding from a conveyor?

Dear Compost Colleagues:

Has anyone come up with a good way to meter seed directly into a mix  
coming off of a conveyor? I imagine the sophisticated bagging lines  
could do this, but I am looking for a low-tech. solution. Any leads  
appreciated.

Thanks.
