Abstract: A device for use in planting seeds and bulbs is disclosed which allows planting in untilled soil with a simple prodding-type motion to both make a hole and to plant the seed in the hole. The device is capable of operation on hills or in almost any other type of terrain, and thus greatly reduces the labor needed to plant seeds and bulbs. It may be used with a conveyor system to continuously supply seed to the device to enable rapid, efficient planting of seed.
