ABSTRACT:
A device for planting seeds into soil includes an elongated tubular housing having a concentrically-disposed axially-aligned elongated rigid member slidably mounted within the hollow interior of the housing. A tubular socket is connected to the end portion of the member for extending through an opening in the bottom end of the housing to dig into and retain a soil plug from the soil to be planted. A handle portion is connected to the opposite end of the member for extending through an opening in the top portion of the housing to enable the member to be moved axially relative to the housing toward its bottom end so that the socket can be forced into digging engagement with the soil and then the member retracted in the housing to withdraw the soil plug from its hole in the soil, whereby a seed can be dropped in the soil hole. An ejecting mechanism discharges the soil plug from the socket and into the soil hole for covering the seed therein. A seed delivery tube and a seed feeding mechanism are also provided for guiding the seeds into the hole for planting purposes.
