The pulverized soil remains in the hole for covering the seed or bulb after planting. The garden tool cultivates to a depth of approximately 6 inches. The tool is driven from the other end of the elongated shaft by a conventional ⅜ inch to ½ inch electric drill. The tool is suitable for use by the landscape professional doing volume planting or the home gardener and can be used in either prepared or unprepared seed beds.
