ABSTRACT:
A no-till planting apparatus and method is disclosed for use with a planter unit which plants seeds as the planter unit is pulled along a predetermined path. The planter unit includes a double disk opener for cutting a furrow at a predetermined depth and a mechanism for depositing seeds in the furrow. The apparatus includes a disk hiller for forming an elevated ridge including a mixture of soil and residue remaining from a previous crop without cutting the soil at a depth greater the predetermined depth. The disk hiller is coupled directly to the planter unit so that the disk hiller forms the elevated ridge ahead of and aligned with the planter unit so that the planter unit rides on the elevated ridge and plants seeds at substantially the predetermined depth below a top surface of the elevated ridge.
