Device (30) for making a hole in a golf green (100), comprising a cutting cylinder (4) with an open end being freely movable along the longitudinal direction; guide means (1) defining a weight path having a first endpoint and a second endpoint; a weight (5) guidedly movable along said weight path; a weight propulsion device, arranged to propel the weight reciprocally so that it strikes against the cutting cylinder; and a soil expulsion piston (9), movable inside said cutting cylinder.

The invention is characterised in that the device further comprises a piston driving mechanism, arranged to transfer a force from said weight is propulsion device to the piston to drive it towards said open end; and an expulsion activating mechanism, arranged to engage and disengage the piston driving mechanism in relation to the weight propulsion device.

The invention also relates to a method.

An illustrated view of an exemplary weeder for removing weeds from a garden and/or yard is presented. The weeder is useful for providing transfer of a user from one location to another location.

A weed extraction tool includes an actuator having two parallel blades formed from a single piece bent into a u-shape. The blades have serrated leading edges and a deep notch in the upper third of the blade trisection above the serrations to facilitate extraction of undesired plants.

A weed remover for removing weeds comprising a tube comprising a main portion and a bottom portion at a distal end which is insertable into soil to capture a core sample thereof. The tube is formed of a static portion and of a moving portion which complements the static portion to form the tube, wherein the tube comprises an inner diameter smaller at the distal end than in the main portion. At the distal end, the moving portion extends over an angular range from about 90° to about 150° and the static portion extends over a complementary angular range to form a contour. The bottom portion is formed of a succession of projections and recesses around the contour to form a cutting edge.

A device for excavating a precise plug of sand from a sand surface and umbrella assemblies are shown and described. In particular embodiments, a plunger includes a distal portion having a cavity, an elbow, and an elongated body separating said distal portion and the elbow. The result is a plunger and umbrella assemblies for excavating a precise, uniform hole substantially equivalent to the pole diameter.

A hole digger is provided. The hole digger includes a first handle assembly and a second handle assembly. The first handle assembly includes a first grip, a first intermediate portion, and a first blade. The first intermediate portion extends between the first grip and the first blade. The second handle assembly including a second grip, a second intermediate portion, and a second blade. The second intermediate portion extends between the second grip and the second blade. The second handle assembly is pivotally coupled to the first handle assembly such that a front surface of the first blade faces a front surface of the second blade. The first blade is not identical to the second blade. At least one stiffener is coupled to at least one of the first or second blades.

The invention involves a growing medium cutting tool that, in exemplary embodiments, includes a handle fixedly and distally connected a hollow incising body via a vertical shaft. The growing medium cutting tool is a unitary apparatus with no moving parts, and the hollow incising body defines a cavity completely devoid of any internal structures. The hollow incising body also has a pointed perimeter on its bottom edge useful for penetrating the growing medium. The growing medium cutting tool provides simple, effective, and inexpensive relief to gardeners who need to quickly and precisely create a hole within a growing medium.
