Garden Dibber ~ a.k.a.
'Dibble' or 'Dibbler'
|
|
A dibber is used to make holes
in cultivated soil for planting seeds, bulbs and
seedlings.
The planting depth is indicated in inches.
Available in two sizes. 
Your dibber will require minimum
maintenance. I recommend cleaning after use and
putting it away dry. It is finished with Linseed
Oil and if you ever need to refinish the dibber,
clean and dry it first, then wipe or brush on
another coat of Linseed Oil. After 30 minutes,
wipe off any excess oil and leave to cure for a
few days before use.

Did you know?
-
In the eighteenth and
nineteenth centuries, farmers used a
long-handled dibber of metal or wood to
plant wheat and other crops. One man would
walk backwards with a pair of dibbers making
holes about four inches apart. A second man
would drop a seed into each hole and fill it
in. It would take two days to plant an acre.

The dibber is also known as
a 'dibble' or 'dibbler'.

From a Satisfied Customer:
The dibblers just arrived in the mail!
They are beautiful. Wouldn't you know I had just finished planting my
current stash of bulbs only this afternoon--before my dibblers arrived.
But I headed directly outside to the flower bed anyway and gave the
smaller one a try. It works like a charm. I immediately noticed
that one advantage of your design is no sharp edges to slice bulbs
and roots already existing in the ground. I intend to try them out for
planting seeds in the next few weeks. I have a feeling your dibblers
will be at least as valuable to me as my trowel is.
Thank you again for creating such charming, practical and nearly
impossible-to-find dibblers.
