Abstract

An improved easy to use lightweight multipurpose hand operated garden tool that allows the user to accomplish the task of planting of seeds, seedlings, bulbs, transplants and remove weeds or other unwanted material efficiently with an elongated, upright T handled shaft having a tubular cutter at the lower extremity thereof. An ejector plate freely passes through the cutter by means of an elongated rod extending upwardly through a guide and attached to a lever. The cutter is positioned over the area to be prepared and twisted back and forth and pushed into the soil define a plug of soil. The tool is then lifted from the soil, carrying with it the plug of soil. The lever is pushed downward causing the ejector plate to push and eject the plug of soil. The above process can be easily done through ground cover and weed barrier due to the beveled sharpen v-grooved edge of the cutter. This tool can also be used to take soil samples up to 3 inches deep per cycle of operation, and should remain sharp enough to cut up to 75 plugs and holes even if occasionally hitting a stone or two.
