1. An apparatus for use in transferring herb material from a grinding device to an end use location, the apparatus comprising:
a sheet material formed around a hollow interior to define a generally tubular body which has a base wall and two side walls standing upwardly from the base wall;
the two side walls converging to respected edges thereof spaced from the base wall to define an open slot between the side edges;
the generally tubular body having a first scraper end and a second end spaced from the scraper end;
the generally tubular body having open ends at both the first scraper end and at the second end;
the base wall at the scraper end forming a generally flat scraper edge across the base wall projecting from the scraper end so that the tubular body can be grasped manually to operate the scraper body in a scraping action over a filter surface of the grinding device;
the tubular body being formed of a semi-rigid flexible material so that the side walls at least adjacent the second end can be squeezed together at the open slot in a pinching action so as to pinch the material within the hollow interior between the side walls for manual transfer.
