Spear & Jackson 4813BP Traditionele roestvrijstalen bloembollenplanter met lange steel

non me lo aspettavo così robusto ... solido il manico in legno e la parte bassa in lamiera da 2 mm di spessore ... 5 stelle meritate

Bin begeistert. Habe einen schweren Lehmboden, das Gerät bohrt sich tadellos hinein. Durch das Gras kommt man mit einer Drehung (da wirken dann die Zacken). Natürlich muss man den Boden, wenn er trocken ist, wässern (auch wenn ich einen Spaten benutze, muss ich das machen). Kann mir nicht vorstellen, wie in Rezessionen beschrieben, dass sich das Gerät verbiegt. Hab' mich bei der Arbeit oft mit 90 kg komplett auf das Gerät gestellt - es hat sich keinen mm verbogen.

If I hadn’t have decided to scatter plant narcissus bulbs in my meadow thick grass, using this tool would have been much easier. I just couldn’t get it through the surface in some areas to make the hole. It also didn’t help that my garden was largely built on builders rubble and old house foundations (unbeknown to me at the time of purchase!) so there was a lot of false starts with the bulb planter. When it did go into the lawn, the consecutive hole dig failed to push up the divot from the tool so replanting the removed divot into the previous hole ended up being a bit piecemeal at times. However, I would not have attempted planting bulbs in the lawn at all without this and it gave a really clean cut hole when it did go in.I also planted some bulbs into the soil which the tool went into very easily- however because the soil was such fine quality here and a bit damp, the divots tended to break up or just muddied up the tool.Having said that, have this bulb planter made life so much easier for me as a disabled person who finds it hard to bend down and fatigues easily. It took me a fraction of the time it normally takes and I got about 30 bulbs in in about half an hour (which is good for me!)It is not perfect. No tool is. The user’s abilities (or lack of) can compromise the efficacy of the most perfectly made tool. However, as tools go, Spear & Jackson make luxury quality, wooden traditional gardening tools and the bulb planter is no exception.This tool is particularly useful if like me, you don’t like formal flower beds. You can mix in bulbs with existing foliage without disturbing the surrounding plants/grasses to achieve a more naturalised feel to your blooms - it also ensures your bulbs won’t be choked by competing plants.

Comprato per uso lavorativo, è un attrezzo robusto, indicato anche per terreni duri e argillosi. Ottimo acquisto

I have a small collection of bulb planters and out of these this one is the best. Having purchased it one month ago I have now completed the planting of about 400 spring bulbs. These have been of the larger variety, daffodils, tulips etc. It could be used for smaller bulbs but if these are to be planted close together then the size of the hole makes it a little impractical. When this is the case, I do use a smaller one with a short shaft.It is of good quality, being strong and sturdy and up to being pushed into fairly compact soil. The steel cylinder is slightly conical to make this and removing the soil plug easier. That said if the soil is damp/wet then it will stick to the tube and require a tap on the ground when inverted to aid release.I have had no problem with the shaft or handle: all good.The problem with other planters I have tried is that a planter with a straight tube is very reluctant to release the soil pug and those with a squeezable handle to open the tube sides are too weak and bend easily.Hope this helps
