I am planning to plant a bunch of asparagus in my backyard, but it will be very tedious to plant each seed individually. I have seen some sort of staff or rod (I think it was metal) with a pointed end that allowed you to inject seeds an inch or two into the ground without digging a hole. What is this tool called?
Sorry I use a pencil to make the hole the depth I want it and place 3 seeds in each hole. We couldn't afford special tools, so can't be of any help here.

I have three tools: Jimmy, age 9, good at PE and lunch in school, my husband Terry, 43, good for nothing except after the annual Christmas party when he’s good for 8 minutes, and Jenny, age 16, going on 23, good at doing her hair for 2 hours prior to going to school in the morning.
They are all tools, which is best to use in eradicating weeds from my tulip bed?
But Drizzt, my husband can probably do it in 8 minutes. It just wouldn't be thorough.
Use them all, but be delicate:
Terry - liquor him up and have him pull weeds at a fever pitch for 8 minutes, the let him lie in the garden to sleep it off.
Jimmy next - bury a grilled cheese sandwich in the dirt and he'll basically till your garden looking for it.
Jenny - have her tell the neighborhood boys that the first one to remove all the weeds gets to cop a feel on her.
You will have zero weeds left after this phase 3 deployment of your tools.

Fits snugly on 5-gallon bucket
and rather quickly at that ........ so I don't have to spend all live long day laboring, and can just enjoy planting seeds
actually I like doing the work but want really effective tools even if they cost a fortune, think it would be a great investment
a good heavy duty rear tined rototiller will take care of the soil and if you cut the shrubs down to the ground first it will digup the roots if they are not to large. you can probably rent one at a local rental yard for a day and see if it does what you need before you purchase one

was the first word that came to your mind a hoe?
if yes, star
Well...
I see my elderly female neighbor taking 'suspiciously' close care of her garden hose though..?
The best tool to get a plant out of the ground is a shovel. And if you have multiple plants in a row a small shovel will do. Hope I helped!!!!!!!!!!

Cool Tools: UMASS Soil Testing
If you take gardening seriously, then you know it all starts with soil health. But you can’t just look down and analyze it. The University of Massachusetts at Amherst offers cheap soil tests that will provide you with a comprehensive rundown of what your soil contains and what it needs.
I first had the soil test done back in 2001, and it showed low phosphorous, and very low levels of heavy metals. It gave specific instructions for adding nitrogen, phosphorous and limestone. For $9 they perform a standard soil test resulting in the following information: pH level, buffer pH, extractable nutrients (P, K, Ca, Mg, Fe, Mn, Zn, Cu, B), extractable heavy metals (Pb, Cd, Ni, Cr), and extractable aluminum, cation exchange capacity, percent base saturation. For $13 you get everything in the standard soil test and the amount of organic matter in your soil.
One of the most vital tests is the extractable heavy metals. Anyone planning to grow food near an old house that may have been painted with lead-based paints should perform this test to make sure you’re not growing your organic veggies in poisoned soil, which pretty much defeats the purpose.
