Abstract
A seed planter for creating and planting together the combination of both seed and contents of a seed growing environment. The seed planter includes, for example, a wheeled frame configured with at least one soil opener and at least one soil closer for planting a field. A seed growing environment aggregator assembly has at least one input opening for receiving a plantable portion of a seed growth medium and seed from the seed hopper and at least one discharge opening for discharging an aggregation of the plantable portion of the seed growth medium and seed to the at least one soil opener for planting a desired growing environment in the field.
Claims17
A seed planter for creating and planting together both seed and contents of a seed growing environment, the seed planter comprising:
- a wheeled frame for planting a field;
- a soil delivery system configured on the wheeled frame for metering soil;
- a seed hopper disposed on the wheeled frame configured for housing and metering seed;
- a seed growing environment aggregator assembly operably disposed on the wheeled frame, the aggregator assembly configured for receiving soil from the soil delivery system and seed from the seed hopper and configured for discharging an aggregation of the soil and seed for planting the aggregation in the field;
- wherein the soil delivery system includes one or more soil harvesters for harvesting soil from the field for providing soil to the seed growing environment aggregator assembly.
A seed planting system for creating and planting together both seed and contents of a seed growing environment, the seed planter comprising:
- an agricultural implement;
- seed and seed growth media for aggregating on the agricultural implement for preparing a seed planting environment;
- a seed growing environment aggregator on the agricultural implement, the seed growing environment aggregator having a seed input for receiving seed and a seed growth media input for receiving seed growth media and an aggregation discharge for discharging a plantable aggregation of seed and seed growth media for planting in the field;
- wherein the seed growing environment aggregator includes a seed casing assembly for assembling the plantable aggregation for planting in the field.
A method for planting seed in a field by creating and
- planting together both seed and contents of a seed growing environment, the method comprising:
- providing an agricultural implement with a seed environment aggregator, the agricultural implement configured for handling seed and seed growth media;
- receiving seed and seed growth media at the seed environment aggregator;
- preparing a plantable aggregation of seed and seed growth media in the seed environment aggregator during planting;
- encasing the plantable aggregation within a seed casing;
- and
- planting the plantable aggregation of seed and seed growth media in the field.
