Problems solved by technology

However, the gardening apparatuses described in the prior art are overly complex, difficult to use, and expensive.
These negative attributes are due in part to the fact that the prior art teaches such apparatuses use several components, many of which utilize moving parts to create holes.
Not only do the moving components make this device unnecessarily complex and cumbersome, but the twisting motion required to break up the soil and roots results in a hole that is neither neat nor conducive to receiving plants.
This device too is complicated because of the use of moving components.
Furthermore, the Walesch et al. device is bulky and cumbersome, making it less functional and appealing to users.
The prior art illuminates a clear deficiency in existing hole-creating gardening devices.

Abstract

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.
