Bulb Transplanter

3 years ago we purchased this and it is still working fine after Thousands of garlic bulbs and small transplant's have been planted on our farm with this . I even transplanted a field of corn with this. I also use it to make holes for large transplants that won’t fit down the chute ( larger tomato plants etc) . Quality product that I have told many farmers about

This is an absolute game changer. I don’t care how young you are. This item will save you from having an old person’s back prematurely and does everything it says it would, including cut down on your manual planting time. Very impressed.

Does what it's designed to do. I'm sure this is intended primarily for well-prepared garden soil which is not hard packed. And, the way I've used it so far doesn't meet that description. That is, I've used it on unprepared soil, frequently encountering small roots along the way. Without forcing it beyond reasonable bounds, it has done well. It's not indestructible though. I fear that even my feeble old arms could wreck it fairly easily if I'm not careful.My mother had such a device when I was a kid, sort of. It didn't have the expansion feature which is really useful.

The brand produces quality products. This bulb planter is no exception. It is made of strong materials to hold up to season after season of use. It comes fully installed, ready to use. Good grip mechanism that speeds up the process of burying a lot of bulbs. It is priced reasonably and looks great in your garden tool arsenal, especially if you stick with this brand.

Really easy to work with. Easy to clean. Great in mulched beds. I planted 45 bulbs in about 15m. Great buy.

Will not hold up well if you hits rocks or clay, Thin product, really made for softer grounds.BUT It does a very good job on soft grounds and makes bulb holes.

Great Tool. There are reviews which say it is not well made and broke after a few uses. I disagree. I have top grade soil in my flower beds with a large amount of worms. The worms keep the soil loose and soft and so this tool has no trouble digging holes. I think the people who complained must have hard, heavy, clay soil. If this is so, then even a shovel would have trouble making holes.

We bought 2 of these because we had ordered almost 300 bulbs and needed to get them in the ground fast. For all but the bulbs requiring a 6" planting depth, this tool worked well. Our soil is very rocky and even when encountering small stones up to about an 1" in diameter, we were able twist the tool back and forth and get the hole dug. The serrated edge helps with this.Once the desired depth is achieved, all you have to do is pull the bulb planter out and squeeze the handle to release the dirt. And as our soil is quite dense, almost all of the soil came out quite easily. I suppose if your soil is very sandy or soft this feature may not work quite as well.It seems sturdy enough, but only time will tell. So for now, I am quite pleased with the purchase and would certainly recommend the Fiskars Bulb Transplanter.
