An apparatus for forming and closing a furrow is described which includes a ground opener having a ground penetrating end not exceeding 1 inches in width. The ground opener opens a narrow furrow. A delivery conduit is secured directly behind the ground penetrating end of the ground opener. The delivery conduit has a below ground end disposed next to the ground penetrating end of the ground opener whereby seed or fertilizer is delivered through the delivery conduit into the narrow furrow formed by the ground opener. A ground closer is secured to the below ground end of the delivery conduit. The ground closer is in the form of a subsurface deflector member not greater than twice of the width of the ground opener. The ground closer is disposed in axial alignment with the ground opener in a downward orientation at an angle of between 5 and 25 degrees in relation to a seed bed formed by the ground opener such that the ground closer straddles and directs soil into the narrow furrow. A short subsurface chain is secured to a remote end of the ground closer in axial alignment with the ground opener. The chain is positioned within the narrow furrow thereby breaking lumps and packing soil within the narrow furrow as the chain is dragged behind the ground closer.
