Description

  The present invention relates to a laterally-opening transplant scoop that can be transplanted without damaging a long-stemmed seedling with branches and leaves.

Conventionally, a simple transplanting tool such as a one-handed scoop has been widely used for transplanting seedlings in agricultural work and horticultural work.
Also, in order not to break the soil around the root part of the pot seedling or the dug up seedling, the seedlings are held together with the soil around the root part by aligning the two scoops in the vertical direction, or directly into the implantation hole or the combined scoop A tool that can efficiently dig and transplant seedlings by inserting the sharp tip of this into the soil is also presented and put into practical use.

However, all the tools are mainly targeted at seedlings such as leaves and bulbs in transplantation, and the most important requirement is to grab the seedlings together with the soil around the roots, such as tomatoes and eggplants with long stems and leaves. Such a structure is unsuitable from a structural point of view, and has a great drawback in that it can damage the long stems and branches and leaves even if the root part can be retained.
