Piket Vineyard Planters

It is that time of year when you need to plant cover crop in your vineyards and orchards to form a natural protective layer. Covering the soil with a blanket of cover crop. Keeping the roots of the vineyards cool and moist. Reducing water loss. Improving soil health via multi species of cover crop, add more root activity, coverage and adding nutrients to the soil and improving soil quality.

The Piket Vineyard Planter or rather the 6-Row, 8-Row, 10-Row Piket No Till Cover Crop Fine Seed Planter is perfect for this job. Planting cover crops in existing plant rests, keeping soil disturbance to a minimum. Slicing through thick stubble with a thin cutting coulter.

Herewith some photos of this planting method's result:

Fitted with a three-compartment seed bin, you can plant: seed, fine seed and fertiliser simultaneously. With an ability to plant larger seeds at a deeper planting depth than the fine seeds, which are applied to the soil at the correct planting depth via means of the compaction wheels that acts also as a depth control wheel
