ABSTRACT:
A method and automatic machine for planting seeds in boxes which insures that uniform and consistent seed distribution will be present in each planted box, and comprising dispensing seeds continuously from a supply hopper in single height, side-by-side relation onto an upper endless conveyor, dropping the seeds from the upper conveyor onto a lower endless conveyor moving at a speed greater than the upper conveyor, and depositing the seeds on the lower conveyor into boxes moving on a delivery conveyor below the lower conveyor. After the seeds have been deposited in the boxes, the boxes move under a second hopper where a covering material is dispensed uniformly over the seeds. Adjustable gates on the supply hopper and the second hopper control the discharge of seeds and covering material, respectively, to insure uniform and consistent discharge from the hoppers.
