Abstract: An attachment for a conventional, walk-behind power tiller for forming seed rows and adjacent furrows wherein an auger disposed perpendicularly to the seed row being formed has a larger diameter at its proximal ends and a smaller diameter at its central, inner end. The auger is rotated using power derived from the tiller to which the novel seed row forming apparatus is attached. In operation, the larger diameter outer portions of the auger dig a furrow and move the disturbed soil inwardly along the diminishing diameter of the auger, thereby depositing the soil from each side of the auger into a central berm or seed row. The apparatus provides seed row-forming capability for use with small rotary tillers and provides minimum soil tillage while readily forming planting rows.

Abstract: An exercise device or block in the general form of a bale of hay or straw. The novel block is a parallelepiped having three handles disposed along the major axis of one of its major surfaces. A pattern of recesses is provided in an opposing major surface to accommodate the handles of an adjacent block. The recesses are provided to allow a large number of positional relationships between adjacent blocks.
