ABSTRACT:
An elongated device for planting seeds from an upright or standing position, or from a wheel chair, having an elongated hollow tube open at its upper end and closed at its lower end by a lower portion that is pointed, and that can be pushed into the ground to any desired depth. The upper end includes a handle having a rigid part secured around the open end, for pushing down the hollow tube to push the pointed lower portion into the ground to the desired depth. The pointed lower portion has sections hinged to the hollow tube and controlled by lever arms to push aside the ground while opening the lower end of the hollow tube. The handle also includes a movable part that is mechanically coupled to the lever arm or arms of the hinged sections of the openable lower portion to spread the lower portion for the planting of a seed or other plant form into the ground. The seed or seeds may be dropped into the open upper end before or after the lower end is opened, and water, for germination of the seed, as well as fertilizer or other materials to improve the plants growth may also be added, directly to the seed, through the hollow tube.
