MICRO-TILLER MODULE
A micro-tiller module that is releasibly engageable with a hand drill can include a gear box assembly, first and second tilling wheel assemblies, and a stabilizer fork. The gear box assembly can include a housing, an input shaft extending along an input shaft axis, first and second output shafts, and a plurality of gears. The external end of the input shaft is configured to be releasibly engageable with a chuck of the hand drill. The tilling wheel assemblies can be respectively mounted to the output shafts. The stabilizer fork can extend from a base end fixed to the housing, along a stabilizer axis transverse to the input shaft axis, to a distal end from which first and second tines project. Each of the tines can extend further along the input shaft axis than transverse to the input shaft axis.
SYSTEM FOR REMOVING IMPLANTED OBJECTS FROM THE GROUND
A system for removing implanted objects from the ground comprising of a square elongated tubing and a support structure. The elongated tubing having a top surface, a bottom surface, a first end and a second end, the first end having a point. The top surface of the elongated tubing having a stop for coupling the support structure to the elongated tubing. The support structure comprising a fulcrum for providing a stable bearing surface for when downward force is applied to the second end of the elongated tubing and a hanger for connecting the fulcrum to the elongated tubing.

Oscillating Weeder
An agricultural tool including a powered motor that supplies vibration to a tool implement. The vibration allows a user to dig with decreased effort, and also reduces the likelihood of severing a root on a plant by replacing the linear force required to dig with transverse vibration. The tool includes a one-handed grip, allowing the user a free hand to assist with gardening activities.

Weed Picking Module and Method
A method and a module for picking weeds or plants with an implement provided on an agricultural vehicle is provided. The method comprises capturing images of a field traveled by the agricultural vehicle, the field comprising weeds and crops. The method also comprises generating a map from the captured images, comprising coordinates of the weeds and crops; determining, based on the coordinates of the weeds and crops, at least one picking location that maximizes a number of weeds to be picked in a single take and one offset for the implement to follow for arriving at the optimal location; moving the implement along the offset; and picking weeds at the optimal location with the implement.
