ABSTRACT:
A light weight hand tool that is very easy to use in planting seeds, bulbs, and small plants in tilled soil while standing erect. The tool consists of the following components, a primary elongated tube, a transport tube, a probe and an optional soil depth control mechanism. Three embodiments are included depicting various methods of incorporating the transport tube in union with the primary tube and the probe. The transport tube consists of an elongated tube open from top end through bottom end for transporting by gravity a planted object from hand to soil. The probe consists of a short elongated rod tapered at one end with the opposite blunt end fixed inside either the bottom end port of the primary tube or the bottom end port of a short hollow tube attached adjacent and parallel to the bottom end of the primary tube. The probe may have holes positioned horizontally through its diameter and equally spaced along the length thereof as a device for manually adjusting an optional soil depth control mechanism. The soil depth control mechanism functions on the probe and consists of a circular plate having a hole centered and joined in alignment with a hollow sleeve thereby allowing movement along the probe. The depth control mechanism is attached and made stationary on the probe by a bolt nut assembly or hair pin clip inserted through a hole positioned horizontally through the sleeve and one of the several holes positioned along the length of the probe.
