Tree planting bar
Ergonomic hand tool used by foresters for planting seeds for trees / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A tree planting bar or dibble bar[1] is a tool used by foresters to plant trees, especially in large-scale afforestation or reforestation. It is very ergonomic, as it greatly speeds up the planting and prevents back pain.[2]
