This is a compact shovel-like apparatus capable of performing many tasks, including digging, scooping up materials dug, and then enabling one to transport such materials to a chosen site, where the materials would be dumped without straining one\s back. The apparatus consists of a removable handle, including bicycle-like handle bars, a round tubular member, and a shovel-head, capable of holding an ample quantity of materials. Runners are an integral part of the shovel-head\s underneath to enable one to push the apparatus over suitable terrain, without lifting. For transportation over hard surfaces, like concrete sidewalks and streets, wheels are provided, as an option. In one embodiment the shovel-head is perforated to permit liquids to be discharged, while retaining nonliquid substances. This head\s perforated surface may have a resilient plastic overlay to prevent liquids and powdery substances from passing through the holes. In another embodiment the tubular member\s angle can be adjusted to suit the user for the particular gardening task to be performed, thus avoiding back strain. With the aid of the plastic overlay, the same basic shovel-head may be used for all of the embodiments. Also a technique is shown for quickly and effortlessly replacing just the toothed strip of the shovel-head. This apparatus being on wheels would enable some physically handicapped persons to do some gardening and similar tasks, including snow shoveling.
