Abstract:

In an earth planting process which entails the boring and refilling of a hole, a method and apparatus are provided to accumulate extracted soil in a container whose configuration is defined by two rigid and concentric cylinders which are joined by a flexible membrane. Raising of the outer cylinder causes the container to assume a funnel shape so that it can be used to pour the extracted soil back into the hole after the removal of a boring tool and possible placement of a plant, post or other object in the hole.
