Minoru Manual Jab Planter HPS-3

Game changer

Excellent lightweight but sturdy tool for placing transplants into prepared soil with precision and minimal effort, all from a standing position! The soil-opening mechanism does not move a lot of soil, so no backfilling of planting holes is required. Instruction sheet is in all Japanese, but the pictures are good enough to show the minimal assembly required to get it operational. (Still, a translation into English for the American market would be nice:) Bottom line: turns transplanting from fatiguing drudgery (on hands and knees) into a kind of joy.
