A tool for eliminating air pockets in the soil when planting trees and shrubs has an inverted L-shaped rigid tubular body with an elongate vertical extension terminating at an open distal end and a horizontal section terminating at an open proximal end. A fluid passage extends between the open proximal end and the open distal end. The open proximal end is provided with internal threads for attachment of a conventional garden hose in order to direct a pressurized stream of water through the tool and out from the bottom distal end. A lever-actuated valve on the horizontal section is operable between an open position to permit water discharge from the distal end, and a closed position to interrupt discharge of water from the distal end of the tool. A driving handle is selectively attachable to either one of a pair of angled attachment stubs on the vertical extension to accommodate both left handed and right handed users. A second hand grip portion is provided on the horizontal section, near the lever-actuated valve.
