Furrow Planting : Usually, growers will use a hoe to create a straight furrow in the soil, plant a couple of seeds every couple of inches along the furrow and then use the hoe to re-cover the furrow with soil. Plants are easier to weed and to thin out when they’re in a straight line, assuming you leave a couple of feet between the rows to walk. 2, record 2, English, - furrow%20drilling

Semis en sillons. Un sillon est creusé dans le sol non labouré et les semences y sont déposées à une profondeur opportune. Plusieurs combinaisons d'accessoires de tassement des semences et roues plombeuses servent à remplir le sillon afin d'assurer un bon contact semence-sol. Il s'agit du semis direct dans sa forme la plus pure; il est idéal pour le soya, le blé et d'autres céréales dans de nombreux types de sols. Le semis en sillons n'est pas très efficace dans les résidus de cultures abondants et dans les sols humides à texture fine. 2, record 2, French, - semis%20en%20sillons

A garden seeder can be a tremendous aid in planting a vegetable garden. With a seeder, you can stand and walk along the row pushing a seeder instead of having to make a furrow with a hoe, going back along the row bent over dropping seeds, and then covering and packing the row. 1, record 3, English, - garden%20seeder
