Text Box: The Plant-O-Vator: Very little moisture is lost when making the seed bed. All grinding action is under ground and not dried out as in discing. Text Box: Planting into “perennial” pasture grass/sod enhances grass growth while growing interseeded crops. Many varieties of seed and mixtures of seed can be grown—summer and winter. In the deep south region—with good management and weather—green crops year ‘round are possible. Text Box: 12” Text Box: Seed bed becomes large reservoir for water/moisture storage.
