Seedball Planting System and Methods of Using Same

A planting system comprising:

• a stinger configured to create an opening in the ground, deposit a seedball in the opening and to cover the seedball after its deposit, the stinger comprising:
• a first part comprising a solid hollow channel disposed between a first end and a second end, the first end, the hollow channel and the second end forming a path of unobstructed fall movement of the seedball from the first end to the second end;
• a second part comprising a pair of shovels, each of the pair of shovels having an arm and a tip, the arms are coupled to one another and to a section of the first part near the second end forming a pivoting point, wherein the arms are pivotally movable about the pivoting point to form one of a closed configuration and an open configuration, wherein in the closed configuration, the tips of the pair of shovels form a complementing shape to cover and block the path of the second end, and in the open configuration, the tips depart from each other to uncover and clear the path of the second end;
• and
• a rotating platform, to which the stinger is securely coupled and is rotatable in a vertical plane, with the tips of the pair of shovels pointing away from the rotating platform;
• wherein the stinger is configured to receive the seedball at the first end, rotate the tips in the closed configuration to penetrate the ground and create the opening in the ground, switch to the open configuration to deposit the seedball into the opening through the second end and continue rotating to exit the ground and to the cover the deposited seedball with soil from the ground.
