Traditional two-handled bulb planter by De Pypere

This traditional bulb planter from De Pypere is an original and very practical garden tool that allows for easy digging of planting holes, as well as planting bulbs of all sizes, or even potted plants, thanks to the wide opening of its head which serves as both a planter and a clamp. It has 2 jointed, long ash handles allowing you to work while standing. Its head with two pointed spoon-shaped blades is hand-forged from carbon steel, with a boron steel finish. This clever, sturdy, well-made tool will last for many years.

Dimensions of the blades: 16 x 5cm (2in) - Maximum opening of the blades: 15cm (6in) - Length of the handles: 75cm (30in).

This bulb planter is composed of two long jointed wooden handles made of ash, a wood known for its hardness and solidity. Each 'arm' is ended by a curved, pointed and sharp blade, which easily digs planting holes in the soil: the clump of earth is held by the two blades until the handles are released. Once the planting hole is prepared, simply place the bulb between the two blades, position it at the desired location, place your foot on the jointed stirrup and press so that the whole thing penetrates the soil. Then loosen the handles while pulling the tool out of the ground, so that the bulb settles at the bottom of the hole. With its wide opening, this planter is suitable for planting bulbs of all sizes, including larger ones. It can also be used to plant perennial or annual plants sold in pots: the rootball, freed from its plastic pot, can be placed between the two blades of the tool in the same way as a bulb. Two holes placed at the top of the handles have been provided to hang this planter on a nail or a hook.

The blades, forged from tempered carbon steel, are resistant to shocks, twisting and corrosion thanks to the boron steel finish. This tool will be easier to use in soils that are not too hard or compact, previously moistened for example. This bulb planter allows you to work while standing, avoiding exertion and limiting painful movements: it will be greatly appreciated by gardeners suffering from joint problems. The handle is compostable, the metal head is recyclable.

The traditional De Pypere range includes high-quality tools, all forged from steel and equipped with ash handles. The boron steel covering the blades is very hard and resistant, making it a valuable material for tools that can be heavily used in the garden.

This tool is under warranty. This warranty does not apply to handles or grips, only to the metal parts except for consumables (screws, springs, etc.) and within the scope of normal use.
