ABSTRACT:
A single-handle tool (20) for manually forming cylindrically-shaped holes in soil is useful for planting shrubbery or for posting. A uniquely angled and shaped pocket (30) is formed in a shovel (26). The shovel is attached to one end of a shaft (22) while a handle (24) with a knob (28) extends at 90.degree. to the other end of the shaft. Shovel (26) comprises an upper component (32) secured to a lower component (34) at an angle of about 135.degree.. The upper component is formed from a pair of joined portions (36, 38) to form an arched (curved or angled) configuration. This combination of the 135.degree. angle between the upper and lower components and the arched configuration forms pocket (30). In operation, the user swivels the handle to rotate the shaft and pocket such that the unique sharp ended and contoured shovel cuts a cylindrical hole (52) and retains cut soil in the pocket for removal from the hole.
