Understanding the Plant-O-Vator Operation (Continued) |

Is this the only mechanical creation that creates such a desirable, growing and producing environment in sod? And in only one trip? |

Always read the fine print! |

· Covering Blade No. 6 is used when conditions dictate more soil cover than is provided by the mole plows. They are easily removed when too much soil is being placed over the seed. · Press Wheel No. 7 is spring loaded to firm soil to seed. · In normal moisture conditions, you now have a perfect, ground-up (tilled) seed bed approximately 5˝ inches deep, 3 inches wide under the surface and in good-rooted sod, 2 inches wide at the surface. Fertilizer is placed deep under the surface and separated by approximately one inch to 1˝ inches from seed. Sprouting seeds send their roots down deeper to feed, and a healthy, strong plant is grown. Fertilizer residue, nitrogen from legumes and decaying plant material are readily available for the perennial grasses to direct their roots deeper into. Water has been channeled into this 3” x 5˝” reservoir to help feed the interseeded plants and their host perennial grass—a perfect growing, producing environment. Note: In certain conditions, you may experience some sod tufts on the median between the rows. These tufts will be broken down by the elements and grazing, and will disappear. The best appearing results are obtained when moisture is ideal and the soil flows good. However, good results (most often the same results) can be obtained in less than ideal conditions. The appearance may not be as nice. As the forages grow, grazing and harvesting begins—the actual surface receives a good looking, desirable, beneficial layer of plant-nurturing, moisture-preserving organic cover. |
