ABSTRACT:
In successive aligned groups, flower pots are gravity filled with earth in slight excess, the top compacted and leveled and a conical hole drilled in each to receive a plant, each successive operation being simultaneously carried out for the several pots in each group. To carry out this method a machine is disclosed with a horizontally moving conveyor reach on which empty pots are magazine-deposited, for intermittent movement, to pass successively to a station at a funnel-like earth filling device, to a station at a leveling device, to a station at a hole drilling device producing a conical, plant-ball receiving hole in each pot's earth fill; in particular embodiments the conveyor reach accepting from a tray magazine pot receiving trays holding pots in rows and columns, or the reach being a conveyor belt, plain or apertured to receive the pots in successive transverse rows; the earth conveyed from a storage hopper to a bucket elevator feeding said filling device; the hopper being disposed also for gravity return of earth removed at the leveling station.
