12" Bulb Planter Tool

I received this product yesterday. I cannot wait to use this for the first time this weekend to replant some flowers that I bought at Armstrong's. This product is well made, the handle is firm, the design is perfect, the size I think fine and I think it will last me years to come. I think for the price that I bought this is well worth it that I almost do not want to use for how nice it looks, but it is going to go in the ground to dig up some holes for me to start planting. If you are looking for a good quality product this is it!

Sturdy, well made and I really like the size of the opening. I don’t need a wide opening for my purposes. Love it.

I'm so glad I got this. I bought a bunch of bulbs this year (tulips, daffodils and alliums) and just planted about 30 in soil with a pretty high clay content. The size was perfect and it held up great, no bending or twisting metal and the toothed bottom cut right through with no frustration. I did amend the soil a bit but it still takes some muscling to get through that dirt and would have been an absolute nightmare using just a trowel for all of them getting six inches deep and wide enough for a bulb. With this, I just twisted down until it got as deep as I wanted, pulled it all up, plopped in the bulb and pushed the dirt back out to fill the hole.Important, maybe obvious advice: don't be a fool like me and try to push the dirt back the way it went in. I wasted so much effort and time trying that before I realized halfway through. The shape of the thing makes that ridiculously difficult if you have clay soil that compacts. Push it out in the direction of the handle. So much easier.

Very good quality, and works great.

Ideal for planting deep bulbs. I was able to dig the proper depth for daffodils. Is a bit narrow for the larger ones but you can easily widen it a bit. Easy to return dirt back into hole by turning it upside down and tapping. I am a senior with not a lot of upper body strength but able to use this. Very well made. Thick metal solid wooden handle. Seems it will last a long time.

This is the first time I planted bulbs, 204 to be exact. The ground was a little damp and so the first was a little packed. Had to use a tool to get the first out of the bulb planter, not as easy as it looks on the video. It is quite sturdy for sure, just a little more effort than I was expecting.

Fantastic for bulb planting. Very well made and sturdy. This is the best one I have used.

I did not find this tool helpful. The dirt doesn't nicely come out -- maybe ground needs to be wet? Ended up just using a shovel to part the dirt and put in the bulb.
