ABSTRACT:
A three way garden tool comprising a hollow handle having an opening, a trowel and tamping member connected to one end of the hollow handle with the hollow handle being closed at its other end. A sleeve is slid over the hollow handle adjacent to the opening in the hollow handle to selectively cover the opening, expose a portion of the opening or expose the entire opening. The trowel and tamping member is flat and includes a plurality of digging teeth on at least one edge thereof to be used for digging up for example a bare spot in a grass lawn. Seed, for example grass seed, can be loaded through the aperture and into the hollow handle and retained therein by sliding the sleeve over the aperture. When a bare spot in a lawn is to be treated, the trowel and tamping tool is used to score and dig up the bare spot, the sleeve is moved over the hollow handle exposing a slot shaped portion of the opening and seed can be dropped from the opening and distributed over the bare spot. The sleeve is then positioned to again cover the opening and the flat trowel and tamping member can be used to tamp and compress the dug and scored earth of the bare spot to properly set the seed therein.
