Fertilizer spike injection tool

A tool for the injection of solid fertilizer spikes into the soil for tree and plant root nutrition which combines the function and structure of a tool for forming a solid fertilizer spike-receiving cavity in the ground with a tool structured for tamping the fertilizer spike to the depth of a ground cavity, comprising:

• a rigid elongated cylindrical shaft handle having an upper end and a lower end;
• a closed upper end of said shaft handle adapted for tamping a fertilizer spike;
• a foot bar, having an aperture centrally located mid-length to accommodate the lower end of said elongated cylindrical shaft handle such that said elongated cylindrical shaft handle extends perpendicularly through and beyond said foot bar, extends equally on each side therefrom said elongated cylindrical shaft handle so as to provide a platform against which a person exerts force with both feet simultaneously;
• a ground-penetrating wedge-like member having an upper section of an elongated body that is substantially elongated hexagonal-shaped in cross-section with diametric widths of approximately 1 inch and 1½ inch, a lower section that tapers from the upper section to a sharpened closed end and a combined diametric length of the integrated upper and lower sections of approximately 8 inches is, at the upper section, perpendicularly fixed and concentric to the underside of said foot bar;
