ABSTRACT:
The present invention provides a planting apparatus including a mobile frame suitable for forward travel over the ground. A planting arm is movably mounted to the frame and extends from a mounting location. The planting arm includes a dibble remote from the mounting location and adapted to cut into the ground when the dibble moves toward it during forward travel of the frame. A planter means is carried by the planting arm and is adapted to support a seedling for planting in the cut made by the dibble. The planter means includes upright spaced apart side walls at the rear of the dibble and a bottom ledge which together form a pair of side walls and the bottom respectively of a pocket for receiving and containing a seedling. The apparatus includes an elongated ejector tongue extending downwardly into said pocket to a point adjacent the bottom ledge and which forms a frontal wall for the pocket. An ejector mechanism is operatively connected to the ejector tongue for moving same rearwardly of the pocket to eject the seedling therefrom into the cut formed by the dibble.
