<p>A planting apparatus to be towed that includes a frame supported, rotatably mounted, pair of furrow forming disks (47, 48) that are arranged to substantially contact each other at the approximate point of entry into the soil and diverge apart rearwardly and upwardly. A frame supported, rotatable gauge wheel (62, 67) located adjacent each disk. Conventional gauge wheel designs collapse relatively dry furrow walls upon the planted seed. The improvement comprises each gauge wheel (62, 67) having a radially inwardly located recessed lip (74) immediately adjacent the disk to trap soil removed from the furrow to form a mound (74a) of moist and substantially uncompacted soil along the edge of the furrow. </p> |
