Abstract: A machine for planting grass sprigs having a superstructure supported on wheels for moving over the earth's surface a sprig storage bin supported by the superstructure, a distributor for moving grass sprigs contained within the storage bin towards an opening in the floor surface, a plurality of paralleled discharge troughs each having a wide upper open end for receiving grass sprigs therein from the sprig storage bin and a reduced width lower opening providing a relatively narrow discharge slot through which grass sprigs are deposited in an in-line pattern on the earth's surface, trenching disc in alignment with each discharge trough for forming a narrow trench in the earth's surface upon which grass sprigs are deposited, and a planting disc in alignment with and rearwardly of each discharge trough for forcing grass sprigs into the narrow trenches.

Abstract: An applicator for dispensing herbicides to weeds. It has a long handle which supports a herbicide supply container at the top. The other end of the handle supports a horizontal member which has a relatively flat sponge assembly which receives herbicide from the long hollow handle which is connected to the herbicide supply reservoir. A roller assembly is supported from the lower end of the handle and has a roller arm so that movement of the roller arm causes the roller to roll across the surface of the sponge assembly. A hand operated lever at the top of the handle rotates the roller arm through a pull string. In another embodiment, the flat herbicide receiving pad is supported from an axle between two wheels and the rollers are supported in a reel type assembly.
