Abstract: A hand vegetation grinder assembly comprising a collector, a grinder, and optionally a lid for grinding a vegetation mass into smaller vegetation shreds. The grinder utilizes a grinder mesh that is substantially hemi-spherical and has grinder openings between woven wire for the shreds to fall through. Finger pressure is utilized to forcefully drive the vegetation across the mesh in a translating motion. The collector in some embodiments is a jar utilized to collect the vegetation shreds. The lid is utilized to enclose the jar keeping the vegetation fresh. The size of the mesh has been optimized for best results. The grinder mesh is secured to a grinder ring for securing the grinder at the top of the collector.
