METHOD FOR PRODUCING A PLURALITY OF CULTIVATED SPOTS FOR PLANTING OF TREES AND A ROLLING SPOT CULTIVATOR

摘要

A method and apparatus for producing a plurality of spaced apart cultivated spots in soil. A spot cultivator (I) is moved across the soil in a direction in which the spaced apart cultivated spots are to be formed. The spot cultivator (I) includes at least one tilling shaft (7) which is mounted to roll about a horizontal axis which moves with the spot cultivator (I) and which is rotatable about a longitudinal axis of at least one tilling shaft (7). At least one tilling shaft (7) is rolled about the horizontal axis in a plane which intersects the soil. The at least one tilling shaft (7) has a length sufficient to contact and penetrate the soil at a controlled spacing during each rotation about the horizontal axis.
