  • Patent number: 4913356
    Abstract: For seeding plots of ground where the seed can be spread over the surface and thereafter cultivated into the soil, use is made of a container in the form of a jar to hold the seed and from which the seed can be ejected by a stream of water. In the device of the invention water serves a multiple purpose. A stream of water is projected through a valve into the jar. One portion of the stream, with the aid of an auxiliary passage, is deflected into the mass of seed to make a slurry. At the same time another portion of the stream with the aid of a second passage travels across the slurry and emerges from an outlet nozzle drawing with it portions of the slurry with its complement of seed. Moistened seed and the accompanying mass of water is ejected and spread over the area to be planted.
