Ground-breaking garden tool

HOE

It loosens soil so seeds can settle in neatly.

"Ground-breaking" hints at something that digs into the ground, but it’s also a pun—it can mean innovative or revolutionary. A "garden tool" that literally breaks ground is a hoe, which is used to till soil and remove weeds. The wordplay ties the double meaning of "ground-breaking" to the tool’s function, making it a clever but straightforward clue."
