Abstract

Embodiments of the present invention relate to soil conditioning/amending equipment for use with a tractor or similar hauling equipment to improve soil conditions of a vineyard, orchard, field, or the like. Embodiments of the soil conditioning equipment include a leading bow-shaped structure that cuts through the soil when dragged from the surface by the tractor, etc. The bow shaped structure (“injector”) is part of an open chute that moves thorough the soil to break up the soil and create an opening for soil amendment to fall through. Compost and/or other soil amendments are poured on a conveyor and into the void landing roughly 1-3 feet below the soil line. The soil and amendments are mixed together in the wake of the injector by waterfall-like currents both above and below the soil line as the void in the soil collapses as the tractor moves forward.
