Abstract: A gardening tool used for bulb planting having a frustoconically shaped earth removing portion with the approximate size and depth needed to remove enough soil to plant a bulb. The tool has a handle for holding onto the device and placing it on the ground for use without having to bend over. The tool also has a foot bar for ease of forcing the earth removing portion into the ground by standing on the foot bar. When the earth is removed and the bulb is placed in the ground, an actuating rod on the gardening tool is pulled to open the frustroconically shaped earth removing portion to deposit the soil therein on the bulb to complete the planting process.

Abstract: A pet waste disposal device having a handle with a squeeze grip for actuating a sweep arm adjacent the ground for urging objects on the ground into a hoop portion having a bag attached such that when the device is lifted toward the horizontal objects in the hoop portion fall into the bag. The bag is detachable from the hoop portion being secured thereto by a band around the bag and the hoop portion. The hoop portion has a lip such that the band will not slip off the hoop and will secure the bag to the hoop. Optionally the hoop portion is rotatably secured to the device such that objects may be picked up from the side of the handle or in front of the handle. A spring attached to the device opposes the squeeze grip to default the device in the open position with the sweep member away from the hoop. However a pin on the squeeze grip can be engaged by a member on the horizontal handle to lock the sweep member in a position adjacent to the hoop.
