The bulb planter employs a pair of members which cooperate to form a generally cylindrical structure with a working end in a closed position. One member pivots to an open pivoted position wherein the members separate at the working ends. An angularly displaceable lever is forced toward a handle to actuate the member for pivoting. Upon release of the lever, the member pivots back to the closed position.

An electric handheld broadcast spreader with pattern and speed controlling baffled skirt detachably attaches to a conventional spreader mechanism to disperse particles in a controlled, directional manner within a proximal coverage area with two hands. A broadcasting/dispersing skirt receives particulate material from a conventional spreader. The inner volume of broadcasting/dispersing skirt comprises upper layer baffles, with upper gaps forming between each upper layer baffle; lower layer baffles, offset from the upper layer baffles, with lower gaps forming between each lower layer baffle; and multiple vertical deflector vanes disposed perpendicular to lower layer baffles. Discharged particulate material strikes the surface of the baffles, before passing through gaps. The particulate material traveling in a lateral direction strikes the deflector vanes and outlet edge of broadcasting/dispersing skirt. This controls velocity and direction of dispersed particulate material, causing particulate material to be confined within a close pattern coverage area on ground surface.

The present invention describes an air-powered device that propels seed from a storage container and distributes seeds from a horizontal tube into a series of vertical tubes, and shoots the seeds from those vertical tubes into the ground. The device can be carried by a human user or mounted on a cart having wheels or skis, and towed through a field while being used to plant seed. The different methods of carrying and operating the device enable farmers to utilize the device in different types of terrain and during different condition. The device can be manufactured from common, affordable materials, such as PVC, and offers rural farmers a portable solution for planting their crops that is efficient and low-cost.

Disclosed are methods of use for various embodiments of a vest with integrated bulk product storage. The vest may be configured to be worn about a person's neck, with a front portion and a back portion. Each of the front and back portions includes one or more integrated bulk product storage compartments. Bulk product is poured into the compartment via a reclosable filling opening at or near the top of the vest, while bulk product is dispensed from the compartment via a reclosable dispensing opening at or near the bottom of the vest. The vest may also function as a safety vest by exhibiting a safety color and/or pattern.

An implement revolving around agriculture, prepared for quickly planting and germinating seeds. No device has seen all these classifications incorporated into one apparatus successfully. Each apparatus contains one or more seeds. The depth of each seed is positioned on the apparatus so that the depth of planting into the ground is correct. Each apparatus is impregnated with fertilizer directly into the substrate. The Fertilizer then acts as a slow time release application, during plant growth. Each Seed is affixed with an organic adhesive to protect the end user and fully adhere the seed to the apparatus. The novel apparatus also has a final quality of digging the appropriate size hole for the seed to be planted in.

EFFECT: This novel apparatus will increase consumer productivity and success in gardening.

A seeding device is provided. That seeding device includes a seeding paddle having a plurality of seed holders and a seed tray having a channel. The channel receives the seeding paddle so that seeds in the seed tray are easily directed into the plurality of seed holders. The paddle may then be removed from the seeding tray for planting seeds in a desired quantity at the desired spaced locations.
