I know of 2 other kinds: I've seen one kind similar to the 2-handled one you're talking about in flea markets around here. It has just one handle and a short metal arm coming out near the bottom. You put it down to the soil and sort of bend the wood handle to one side which works the arm, depositing the seed. The other kind, what I use for my garden, is made by Earthway. It is a miniature version of a tractor seeder, except you push it by hand (a low-cost version of the old Planet JR. seeders). Can plant a 50' row in a minute or two and is fairly consistent. Cost me $50 new, but I've since seen them in flea markets for less. If you have fairly long stretches of missed seed, that'll be the best bet, but if you just need to add a few here and there the other type would be better. I like mine, it's plastic and looks cheap but I've beat on mine for a few years now and it doesn't break and comes with a bunch of other seed plates too. good luck,
Tom
