A method of cultivating and sowing seed is described in which soil is broken up by pulling laterally spaced apart first tines ( 16 ) therethrough with the tines set to penetrate a depth which bears a fixed relationship to the depth at which the seed is to be sown, to create a corresponding plurality of shallow trenches of broken up soil, and at a distance behind and in line with each of the first tines ( 16 ), introducing seed to the rear of a second tine ( 14 ) via seed delivery means ( 12 ) associated therewith. The soil in the trenches is flattened by levelling means ( 22 ) aligned with and following the tines ( 14, 16 ). The second tines ( 14 ) can include lateral wings to break up and lift the soil to facilitate the deposition of seed at the bottom of each trench. Apparatus ( 20 ) for performing the method is described. |
