I don’t think I can adjust the pitch. I’m fairly certain (didn’t use it this spring) that there are spots where the closing disks are barely (or barely not at all) making contact with the ground. Probably doesn’t help that I’ve tried to be planting pretty shallow (milo, peas, buckwheat, sunflowers).

You need to make sure your planter is running level and your closing disks aren’t worn down. The diagram I found shows the closing disk being 8 inches in diameter. A half inch of wear makes a lot of difference on opening and closing disks, and problems get amplified in a no till environment.
