A hollow drum is mounted for rotation about an at least substantially horizontal axis and in its opposite axial ends it is provided with respective center openings through one of which particulate potting material such as earth in flowable state is to be introduced. A feed introduces through the other of the openings sequentially upwardly open potting containers which are subsequently withdrawn from this other opening. Rotating means rotates the drum about its axis and entraining blades interiorly of the drum continuously entrain and lift the potting material upwardly of the potting containers so that it cascades over and into them, thereby filling them preparatory to their withdrawal from the other opening. |
