A digging and planting machine is provided having a tubular digging and planting tool mounted on a vehicle travelling along the ground surface, and at least one sensing and signalling means for sensing the resistance of the ground to penetration by the digging tip of the tool, thus gauging the condition of the ground, and detecting obstacles to such penetration, so as to ensure that the digging tip provides and a plant is fed to a planting hole of the desired depth, when ground condition is suitable, and, when ground condition is not suitable, that new digging attempts continue to be made at closely-spaced intervals as the vehicle travels over the ground until a planting hole of the desired depth is dug, so as to plant as many plants as close together as desired per unit area. |
