This means the soil is naturally tight, unless live stock, have not trampled the soil and the stubble has been managed well, for many years to prevent the soil particles binding together. Zero till farming is generally regarded as not working, except in ideal soil type. This planter has the ability to provide an excellent seed germination, even in unmanaged conditions and in soils that naturally settle down tight and leave the soil in a shape to inject any useful rainfall, into the sub soil to avoid evaporation. Other planting systems where the seed is placed directly into the ground, are compacting the soil even more, that the seed has less chance of germinating and the soil is left that there is a furrow on the seed row, with the risk of flooding the seedling. Fig 4, shows the basic disc and tine position of the concept.151,1 5ZfA-P(Cro4, P.2
