A device for removing plant material from a plant bed. In one embodiment, the device includes a frame with an oscillating cutter attached thereto. The oscillating cutter is disposed such that a cutting portion thereof is beneath the surface of a plant bed when the device is in use. A conveyor is also attached to the frame, the nose of the conveyor being disposed beneath the surface of the plant bed. As the device moves along a plant bed, the oscillating cutter cuts plant material, which is scooped up by the nose of the conveyor and transported to a desired location.

A connector for joining agricultural drip tape. The connector includes a rigid tubular body having a tapered trust conical enlargement at its free end over which the free end of the drip tape is pressed and held by an assembly nut having a single entry female thread that threadably engages the tubular body male threads by a pre-determined angular advance of the assembly nut. The environment of use for agricultural drip tape is one of debris and mud consequently; the assembly nut contains a wiper window opening through which debris and mud are expelled from the connection as the assembly nut advances axially along the threads of the tubular body. Indicia on both the assembly nut and on the tubular body may be relatively positioned depending upon the thickness of the tape to form a consistently reliable seal.

A device for producing a root rope includes a transport path for suspending a carrier line thereabove, root material being deposited on the carrier line. A winding apparatus receives the carrier line and also receives at least one wrapping material. The winding apparatus uses a winding motion to wrap the wrapping material around the root material and carrier line, securing the root material to the carrier line and creating the “root rope. ” A reel receives the root rope from the winding apparatus, the reel using a rotating motion to wrap the root rope around the reel.
