One tool for every planting hole
Press the tapered head into loose soil and lift it out to leave a clean hole for bulbs, plugs or seedlings. The head is 11 cm tall and 8 cm across, which covers most transplants.
Built from solid stainless steel
Head and shaft are stainless steel, so wet soil and a winter in the shed do not leave rust behind. At 520 g it has enough weight to sink without you leaning on it.
A handle you can work with
The T shaped grip spreads pressure across your whole palm instead of one point, which is what you notice when you are planting a full tray in an afternoon.

Frequently Asked Questions
How big a hole does it make?
The head measures 11 cm tall and 8 cm at its widest, which suits bulbs, plugs and most seedlings. Push it in as far as the depth you need and the taper shapes the rest.
What is it made of?
Stainless steel throughout, chosen so damp soil and regular rinsing do not cause rust. There is no coating to chip off and nothing to wear through.
How long is it overall?
32.5 cm from the top of the handle to the tip. That length lets you work from a kneeling position without stooping right over the bed.
Does it work in heavy soil?
Yes, in soil that has been turned or loosened first. The 520 g weight and the tapered head let you press down steadily, and the handle gives you the leverage to do it.
How do I look after it?
Rinse the soil off after use and dry it before it goes away. Stainless steel asks for nothing beyond that, no oiling and no sharpening.
