Abstract
A planting tool includes a tube element with an inlet end and an outlet end. A ground support is rotatably connected to the tube element via a pivot point and includes a first part with a pedal area and a second part with a hatch area. A mechanism has a first clamp and a second clamp. In an open state the mechanism prevents movement between the hatch area and the outlet end and maintains the hatch area at a distance from the outlet end by contact between the first and second clamp. In a closed state the mechanism prevents movement between the hatch area and the outlet end and maintains the hatch area in contact with the outlet end. The first clamp includes a switch allowing a user to change position of the first clamp to switch the state of the mechanism from the open state to the closed state.
