Designed for use by women


This tool will plant through surface mulch in dry and moist soils.

In use the tool is rocked backward and forward as foot and hand pressure is applied.

Prior to dropping the seed the tool is pushed forward and this creates and maintains the tapered slot in the ground.

One person operates the tool and drops a controlled amount of fertiliser using a small plastic container  whose capacity has previously been calibrated for the field and crop requirements.
