User Reviews
I used this when I first got it to transplant sweet corn plants. I have sandy soil and when it was wet and freshly tilled the fiskars bulb planter worked great. I went to use it for planting bulbs in my sandy ,but dry and a little compacted soil and the thin steel sides bent over when I pushed it in the soil. Now I can't get it bent back into shape to be strong enough to use at all. I thought by spending a few more dollars I would get quality. I can't recommend this due to the thin metal sides that can't withstand the pressure required to push it into the ground. -- bends even in sand
I used this to dig holes to plant seedlings in my garden. It was very useful. It is also very well made. -- Very easy transplanter
This tool worked well for about 30 bulbs and then spring handle broke and metal side bent. I have arthritis in both hands so I was initially please with my ability to use this tool. Unfortunately it broke that first day. I can't squeeze very hard so it certainly wasn't roughly used. OK if you don't mind a disposable tool and don't have too much to plant. -- You get what you pay for.
This is a great tool for planting bulbs! It gets the job done fast! I planted many bulbs in a short period of time with this planter. It has a serated edge that cuts though small roots. You can twist and turn once in the ground and it makes the job so much easier. Holds the dirt very well as it has a release to drop the dirt out! -- Great tool! Must have!!
I have not used this bulb planter yet but it seems sturdy and I like th fact that it opens up to release the dirt. My old one you had to push the dirt out which slows the planting process down immensely. -- Seems like a good planter
