According to the present invention there is provided a seed planting aid comprising of a flat body or base with a handle on one side for holding the implement and varies numbers of evenly spaced pointed coned pegs, the numbers of these pegs various dependant on what type of seed or seedling is being planted.
A specific embodiment of the invention will now be described by way of example with reference to the accompanying drawing in which: Fig 1 Shows in perspective the seed planting aid.
Fig 2 Illustrated how it works in conjunction with a seed tray full of compost/peat or soil.
Fig 3 Shows a cross section of a tray of compost/peat or soil before use of the seed planting aid.
Fig 4 Shows a cross section of the tray, the indentations left behind once the seed planting aid has been used, and how it is used for seeds or seedlings, and how the surface of the compost/peat or soil is flattened.
Refering to the drawing, the seed planting aid comprises a body 11 and a well secured handle 10 at the underside of the body various numbers of evenly spaced coned pegs o6 spikes ate attached 12 Fig 3 Shows a seed tray 14 full of compost/peat or soil 13 Fig 4 Shows that once the seed planting aid has been pressed firmly into this it leaves the impression of the coned spikes 12 behind and also the body 11 flattens the compost/peat on soil 13 evenly in the tray 14.
Fig 4 Also shows how the impression left behind from the seed planting aid is used for seeds 15 or seedlings 16.
