Make space for your next display of tulips, daffodils, or crocus with this spring-loaded bulb planter. The handheld design removes a plug of soil to create a planting hole, while depth markings help you judge how deeply to plant. Place your bulb, release the soil back into the hole, and move on to the next spot in your border.

Tool features

• Spring-loaded handle: Helps operate the soil-release mechanism for repeated planting.
• Depth markings: Provide a reference when checking planting depth.
• Handheld grip: Designed for close-to-ground use in beds and borders.
• Soil-release mechanism: Helps return the removed soil after placing a bulb.
• Steel construction: For general garden planting tasks.

How to use

Choose a prepared planting area and press the barrel into the soil to the depth required for your bulb. Lift out the soil plug, place the bulb according to its planting instructions, then operate the handle to release the soil. Firm gently and water as appropriate for the plant. Follow bulb-specific guidance for depth and spacing rather than using one setting for every variety.

Suitable planting projects

Use for individual planting holes for bulbs such as tulips, daffodils, and crocus, or for garlic and onion sets where the barrel size suits the planting material. This listing is for the planting tool only; bulbs and plants are not included.

Care and practical tips

For easier use, loosen very hard or compacted soil before planting and avoid forcing the tool against stones or roots. Clean off soil after use, dry thoroughly, and store in a dry place. Keep fingers clear of moving parts while operating the handle.
