A vertical tiller comprises a rider disc or foot at the bottom of a helix or screw/auger, with the assemble further comprising angled winged appendages having angled sweep sections. The assembly further comprises a turned leading appendage. The turned leading appendage keeps the assembly relatively vertical to prevent the other appendages from fouling, cutting or entangling with cloth, wire or other elements often found at the bottom of planting pots, wire baskets and planting beds. The vertical tiller performs maceration and aeration within soil and provides a level of safety by the angled appendages that bounce off of a user's foot. The invention is well suited for remixing and amending soil and is intended for light soils having minimal rocks and large roots. The disclosed wing design assists having greater control over the tiller which is useful in selective tilling to promote soil biota.

A plunger device for making soil blocks. The plunger device is used to form soil blocks in a grid to facilitate seedling growth. The plunger is made of a configuration and material by casting or molding to compress soil consistently and evenly into blocks for seeding. The plunger device includes a plurality of plungers joined together that align with the rows of cells within the grid. The benefit of cast or molded plungers of the present invention is their uniform shape that will not bend of deform as prior sheet metal plungers potentially can.

A grass seeding assembly for reseeding a lawn with grass seed includes an insertion tool that has a handle and a cup disposed on the handle. A cone is engaged with the cup on the insertion tool for driving the cone into ground. The cone is foraminous to facilitate water to pass through the cone. A planting mixture is placed within the cone and the planting mixture comprises a chemical fertilizer, grass seed and soil. A mesh screen is wrapped around the cone such that the mesh screen inhibits the planting mixture from passing through the cone.
