What was the Seed Drill

The seed drill was a machine invented by Jethro Tull that was used to plant seeds into the ground. Before the seeds were scattered by hand only very few of them where fertilized. With the new seed drill the seeds were placed into the soil. The racks had tubes attached to them that would drill into the ground and drop a seed into the hole. Furthermore the seed drill had a plough attached behind it; this would cover up the holes that were drilled, giving the seeds a higher chance of growing. Without the seeds being planted into the soil most of them were just eaten by birds. That is how the seed drill worked.
