A planter /
fertilizer wherein there is provided a ripping point configured to penetrate a predetermined depth into the soil or sod, the ripping point designed to facilitate a splitting and lifting of the soil, forming a seed
bed void, while
cutting any organic ground cover, which might comprise, for example, sod, widening the ground cover, and lifting same to a prominent head, wherein first and second coulters, situated above and about the ripping point, are configured to independently engage and
cut first and second sides of the lifted ground cover, trash and the like, respectively, then
cutting the lifted ground cover, etc., as the coulters rotate, the coulters cooperatively
grinding at least a portion of the lifted ground cover, forming
tilth, and redepositing the
tilth into the
seedbed void, providing an enhanced
seedbed region with nominal surface disturbance, and a clean furrow. Situated behind the first and second mole plows and
fertilizer and seed chutes are opposing first and second wheels, the first wheel a larger
diameter furrow trimming wheel, having outwardly emanating therefrom a depth ring or drum for controlling the depth and covering of the seed for the first side of the furrow, the second wheel being smaller in
diameter than the first and situated to trim the furrow and assist further in covering the seed for the second side of the furrow, the first and second wheels having different diameters so that they cooperatively rotate at different speeds to prevent clogging, and are situated at opposing angles on
horizontal and vertical planes so as to be
self cleaning in a variety of soil conditions. Following the first and second wheels is a pressure wheel about the width of the furrow, which is directed over the furrow so as to apply pressure to the furrow, flattening so as to complete the furrow forming process.
