A funnel is used in traditional sowing methods to help deliver seeds directly into the soil.
Historically, sowing was often done manually using a funnel-shaped tool. Here's how it works, according to the provided reference:
- Seed Filling: Seeds are placed into the funnel.
- Directed Delivery: The seeds move down from the funnel through two or three pipes.
- Soil Penetration: The pipes have sharp ends that push into the soil, placing the seeds at the desired depth.
This method provides a more controlled and precise way to sow seeds compared to simply scattering them by hand.
