ABSTRACT:
An apparatus and method are provided for transplanting seedlings from a starting tray into soil. The plant starting tray is positioned on a table surface and moved so that a first column of seedling cells is aligned over a slot formed through the table. A plant pusher unit pushes a seedling from its seedling cell into a transfer tube. A pressure differential is used to move the seedling from the transfer tube through a flexible seedling valve into a prepared hole in soil.
