A planting and irrigation apparatus and method for planting seeds in and irrigating a field. The apparatus may comprise a plurality of spray nozzles configured with a pressure setting sufficient for forming a plurality of holes into soil of the field and a seed dispenser configured for dispensing one or more seeds into one or more of the holes. Once the seeds are dispensed throughout the field, the apparatus may irrigate the field, thereby washing soil displaced when the holes were formed back into the holes, thereby covering the seeds.
