Abstract: The invention provides a method for sowing seeds in a soil substrate, the seeds being carried by a seed tape; which method comprises advancing along the soil substrate a carriage provided with a seed tape feeder, a rotating pressing disc and optionally rotating soil cutting disc, the rotating pressing disc being mounted on the carriage in-line behind the soil cutting disc when such is present; such that: (i) the rotating soil cutting disc when present cuts a longitudinally extending substantially vertical slit as the carriage advances along the soil substrate; (ii) the seed tape is fed in front of the pressing disc by the seed tape feeder and brought into contact with the pressing disc so that a peripheral pressing edge of the pressing disc is substantially centrally aligned between two edges of the seed tape; (iii) the pressing disc progressively creates a longitudinal fold in the seed tape and progressively presses the folded seed tape into the slit (or into the soil to form a slit when no cutting disc i
