Colwelt Bulb Planter Tool Long Handle, Serrated Base Gardening Bulb Transplanter with Soft Grip, Heavy Duty Long Handled Bulb Planter Sod Plugger for Digging Holes to Plant Tulips, Iris, Daffodils

This long-handle bulb planter is a total game changer for planting season! I’ve used it for tulips and lilies so far, and it digs the perfect hole every time. The step-twist-pull action is simple and efficient—once you get the hang of it, planting becomes almost effortless. I really appreciate the two-pedal design: one pedal helps push it into the soil, and the other makes the dirt plug drop out cleanly without fuss. The serrated base works surprisingly well in tougher, rocky soil, and the powder-coated steel feels very sturdy and durable. Best of all, I can do all my planting while standing upright, which saves my back and knees. The soft T-handle grip also makes it comfortable to use for longer stretches. If you want to add cheerful bulbs to your garden without the strain of kneeling or hand digging, this tool is worth every penny. Highly recommended for both casual gardeners and pros!

This tool is incredibly better (easier, less painful, & faster) than leaning over trying to dig holes for bulbs or small plants. It's sometimes a little cumbersome to drop the dirt out of it but I think I just have to get used to the foot lever to push out the dirt. I actually love that feature which isn't on many of the other stand-up diggers. It's also very sturdy, and easily dug thru the heavy clay ground that's in my yard. I have no concern about it bending or breaking. I'll never go back to my manual digging tools again. I recently showed this to my neighbor who was on her knees planting her flowers, and she just RAVED about how easy it was for her to quickly finish digging the holes needed compared to doing it by hand. She's buying one, too!

Works well in regular soil and perfect for bulb planting. We'll see how it goes come spring for grass plugs when my clay soil is much softer. (early fall my clay soil is dried out and hard). I'll try after running the sprinkler too. But this is the same for all similar sod coring tools. Otherwise well built, sturdy, and I recommend it.

Edges cut easily into hard earth. Foot pedal works great. Wish it was a little deeper but made planting our bulbs super easy.

Good but a little hard to get in the ground

This Colwelt Bulb Planter Tool Long Handle is a work horse. I used it to bury and level fence posts on a garden fence. The functionality of digging through heavy clay soil was easy to accomplish after a heavy rain storm the previous night. It has substantial weight is highly durable and extremely functional with the special features of the step-on dirt removal raised pedal. This tool is the best value for the $31.66 money I paid. Highly recommend you add this tool to your garden shed.

Nice tool does it's job. Makes nice holes to plant seeds or small plants.

The bulb planter is easy to assemble and comes with tools to do so and a pair of gloves to boot! I am a slight built older gardener and found that I wasn’t able to sink the tool into the ground by stepping on the single flange it is equipped with. However, I used arm strength and found by twisting and turning was able to lift enough soil to plant the bulbs. It would probably have been more effective if it had two flanges to step on. But, I now have 50 narcissuses planted and am looking forward to spring!

Easy to use

Great product works well easy to use and put together. Would buy again if needed but it’s so well put together I don’t think I’ll ever need another.

Got this to help with planting all my fall bulbs. Was way better than digging the holes by hand. It was easy to set up and worked well. Wouldn't want to use it on super compact soil but we'll drained soil was effortless.

Have used it a lot and it is a big help to us old geezers. Less back ache

Used on grass. Not very sharp so you have to use lots of force. Foot lever broke very quickly. Does work if ground is very soft.
