Multi-Functional Garden Tool

Abstract

A multi-functional garden tool having a first elongated cylindrical member and a second elongated cylindrical member. The elongated cylindrical members being configured and structured to receive water or such other aqueous liquids from an aqueous liquid source such that a user can apply the water, or other aqueous liquids, below a soil surface into the root zone of either potted plants or to garden plants. Additionally, the first and the second elongated cylindrical members of the multi-functional garden tool are configured and structured to give a user the ability to detachably attach a variety of tool heads to perform certain gardening tasks.

         20 . A garden tool comprising:
 an elongated tubular member having an upper end, a lower end, and a hollow interior, said upper end detachably engageable with a source of an aqueous liquid and said lower end insertable into a soil, comprising a plant root zone;   a series of spaced apertures in said elongated tubular member extending from apertures adjacent to said lower end to apertures farthest spaced from said lower end, said series being limited in extent such that all of the apertures in said series will be covered by said soil upon insertion of said garden tool into the soil,
 where the relative sizes of said apertures in said series increases from said apertures farthest from said lower end of said elongated tubular member to apertures adjacent said lower end of said elongated tubular member for optimum application of the aqueous liquid to the plant root zone. 
   
     
     
         21 . The garden tool according to  claim 20  and characterized further by a plurality of interchangeable tool heads disengageably mountable on said elongated tubular member, said tool heads having tubular sleeves shaped and configured to receive said lower end of said elongated tubular member, said tubular sleeves providing axial strength when said elongated tubular member is being used with said tool head. 
     
     
         22 . The garden tool according to  claim 21  and characterized further in that said series of apertures in said elongated tubular member includes a pair of oppositely aligned apertures and said tubular sleeves have oppositely aligned apertures for aligning with said pair of oppositely aligned apertures of said elongated tubular member upon mounting of said tool head on said elongated tubular member, and a locking pin insertable through said aligned apertures to lock said tool head onto said elongated tubular member. 
     
     
         23 . The garden tool according to  claim 20  and characterized further by a resilient bumper member encircling and affixed to said elongated member intermediate said upper and lower ends for cushioning the striking, of said tool against an object to dislodge foreign matter from said garden tool. 
     
     
         24 . The garden tool according to  claim 20  and characterized further by a depth limiting member encircling and affixed to said elongated tubular member immediate adjacent to said series of apertures to provide a desired depth of insertion of said garden tool into said soil. 
     
     
         25 . The garden tool according to  claim 20 , wherein said lower end of said elongated tubular member is bevel shaped to facilitate insertion of said lower end of said elongated tubular member into said soil comprising said plant root zone.
