Claims
- 1. A system for injecting a liquid-seed mixture into soil having:
a nozzle, a seed-fluid mixture; an accumulator for storing the seed-fluid mixture under pressure coupled to the nozzle; a pump for increasing the pressure of the liquid-seed mixture; and a regulator for regulating the flow of the seed-fluid mixture from accumulator through the nozzle, wherein the nozzle is configured to inject the fluid seed mixture into the soil.
- 2. The mechanism of claim 1 further comprising:
a fluid supply; and a seed supplier for mixing the seed with liquid stored within the fluid supply.
- 3. The mechanism of claim 2 further containing an agitator for mixing the seed within the liquid.
- 4. The mechanism of claim 3 wherein the accumulator has a volume from about 5 to about 20 cubic inches.
- 5. The mechanism of claim 4 wherein the accumulator has a volume from about 6 to about 12 cubic inches.
- 6. The mechanism of claim 5 wherein the accumulator has a volume of about 6 cubic inches.
- 7. The mechanism of claim 3 wherein the nozzle discharges the liquid-seed combination in a fan pattern.
- 8. The mechanism of claim 3 wherein the nozzle is disposed from about 4 to about 6 inches above the ground.
- 9. The mechanism of claim 3 wherein the liquid is water.
- 10. The mechanism of claim 9 wherein the liquid further contains a dissolved fertilizer solution.
- 11. The mechanism of claim 9 wherein the liquid further contains a dissolved polymer material.
- 12. The mechanism of claim 3 wherein the seed is bent grass seed.
