ABSTRACT:
A sprig planting apparatus adapted to press sprigs such as bermuda into the surface of the earth has a frame, wheels mounted on the rear of the frame, a sprig hopper mounted on top of the frame, and a conveyor adapted to convey sprigs placed into the hopper to an opening in the front of the frame. At the opening is mounted a sprig separating and distributing device which lifts the sprigs from the conveyor and separates the bermuda sprigs and drops them through the opening onto the ground. Directly behind the opening and having the same width as the opening is mounted a plurality of discs journaled in a shaft to each side of the frame. These discs roll over the bermuda sprigs forcing them into the ground to a prescribed depth.
