Rob Lauzon: I bought it for my flower beds. Have one variety growing into another with some dead spots. Can easily take a plug from one area and insert it somewhere else.

Galyna: Il est trop grand si vous voulez planter des petites fleurs (comme crocus etc.).
J'ai essayé de le retourner mais les frais de retours sont quasiment égaux au prix payé par moi. Alors, je le garderai, cet outil inutile...

Katherine S.: My old one broke and I bought 2 more. This might not be the most durable, but it will get you through a planting season and that’s a great value for the price. I wouldn’t be able to keep up my huge flower bed without!

LCD: Obviously will not work in gravelly soil, hard clay or soil with substantial roots - but works VERY well on true garden topsoil/potting soil material, even with heavy concentration of annual plant roots (but not tree or shrub roots). Does a good job of retaining the soil (unless dry and quite sandy), and releases it well. Just avoid getting dirt in the handle, as than jams up the release mechanism (two parts of the handle slide together to release the dirt). Made planting bulbs this year probably about 5 times faster than using a hand trowel to dig holes one by one.

Also good for transplanting small volunteers - just grab the entire plant with soil plug, then transfer into a starter pot.

D Jay: Edward Tools Bulb Planter (Landscapers Select): After I basically trashed my old hand-held bulb planter last fall, when I was naturalizing narcissus in some pretty resistant woodland soil (roots, clay and a few rocks), I needed to get a replacement. I prefer the models where you can open\widen the bulb planter to make the extracted soil fall out easily. This bulb planter appears to be pretty sturdy, and I had no problems digging holes for the bulbs, although you would need some wrist and hand power when the ground is hard and not cooperative. (But this is a hand tool, and not a drill-powered auger, so that's realistic). I gave it a 4 overall, and a 4 for ease of use. The soil release action doesn't work as well as previous bulb planters I have had - you have to give it a smack to get rid of all the dirt. I found that using some organic food oil spray inside the planter helped the extracted soil plug fall out more cleanly. (I use organic food oil spray on metal gardening tools, to make them easier to clean and protect against rust). So, I found it to be quite a decent tool, but recommend you oil the inside to facilitate the release of the extracted dirt. (And a little tap with a...
