ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus for planting seed tape wherein a seed tape planter is pulled through the field during a planting operation, and planting seed tape is accomplished by forming a seed bed, dispensing seed tape onto or into the formed seed bed, opening furrows or cavities on each side of said formed seed bed, dispensing a covering material over said formed seed bed and the dispensed seed tape, urging the edges of said covering material into the open furrows or cavities, and closing the furrows or cavities by back filling the same with the displaced dirt or soil from the furrows or cavities so as to cover the edges of said covering material such that the back filled dirt or soil acts to hold the covering material about said formed seed bed.
