Abstract
A gardening apparatus for manipulating soil and/or cutting plants is disclosed, which comprises an implement being made of at least one rigid material, such as steel or plastic, at least one copper rich material coving at least one working surface area of the implement, and a plurality of metal metal alloy buttons containing desired metal elements being fixed on the implement, wherein during an intended use of the gardening apparatus abrasions between the gardening apparatus and the soil and/or plants cause particles of both the at least one copper rich material and plurality of metal metal alloy buttons to be removed therefrom.
Claims20
A gardening apparatus comprising:
- a single rigid body providing a working surface;
- and
- a copper rich material covering the working surface, wherein upon engaging an object with the work surface a portion of the copper rich material is transferred to the object;
- and
- a plurality of metallic buttons communicating directly and only with the single rigid body.
(canceled)
A soil manipulating apparatus comprising:
- a rigid body providing a work surface;
- a handle attached to the rigid body;
- and
- a copper rich material plated onto the working surface,
- a plurality of metal buttons fixed on the working surface area of the soil manipulating apparatus, wherein there is only one structural layer of the soil manipulating apparatus engaged by the plurality of metal alloy buttons, and wherein upon engaging soil with the work surface of the soil manipulating apparatus abrasions between the soil manipulating apparatus and the soil cause particles of both the copper rich material and the plurality of metal alloy buttons to be deposited in the soil.
(canceled)
An apparatus for manipulating an object comprising:
- a single rigid body providing a working surface;
- a copper rich material plated on the working surface;
- and
- a plurality of alloy buttons fixed on the working surface area of the single rigid body, wherein the plurality of metal alloy buttons engage only the single rigid body, and during an intended use of the apparatus for manipulating an object, abrasions between the apparatus for manipulating an object and an encountered object particles of both the copper rich material and the plurality of metal alloy buttons to be removed therefrom.
