Apparatus for seeding

A method of seeding comprising:

• travelling an apparatus over terrain comprising soil, the apparatus further comprising at least one seed delivery outlet for delivering seeds ahead of a respective one of the at least one brush, wherein the apparatus comprises:
• a soil manipulation apparatus;
• a brush arrangement comprising at least one brush arranged to follow the soil manipulation apparatus, wherein, in use, the at least one brush sweeps fine loose soil particles over seed distributed onto a surface of a soil profile created by the soil manipulation apparatus;
• and
• a breakout coupler positioned to cause coupling of a breakout motion of the soil manipulation apparatus with a breakout motion of the at least one brush when, in use, the soil manipulation apparatus breaks out of engagement with the soil and a motion of the soil manipulation apparatus following breakout causes the soil manipulation apparatus to act on the breakout coupler;
• wherein the soil manipulation apparatus acting on the breakout coupler causes the breakout motion of the at least one brush whereby the at least one brush lifts from engagement with the soil;
• and
• wherein, in use, the soil manipulation apparatus and the brush arrangement operate independently until coupling of the breakout motion of the soil manipulation apparatus with the breakout motion of the at least one brush;
• using the soil manipulation apparatus to loosen soil before seed deposition thereby providing loose soil particles and creating a soil profile;
• using the at least one seed delivery outlet, depositing seeds onto a surface of the soil profile;
• and
• using the at least one brush to sweep fine particles of the loose soil over the seeds and lightly cover the deposited seeds with soil, leaving larger soil particles in place over the terrain thereby retaining the soil profile created by the soil manipulation apparatus.
