The Faithfull Countryman Long Handle Bulb Planter is a heavy-duty tool designed for the professional gardener. Ideal for planting larger bulbs by boring a hole into the ground to the desired depth using the barrel of the planter, inserting the bulb and then placing the plug of soil back into hole. Made from heat-treated (hardened) carbon steel to provide both strength and durability. Powder-coated finish provides improved resistance to rust, scratches, humidity and alkaloids in the soil. Fitted with a long European ash T-grip handle supplied from FSC® sustainable resources and lacquered for protection against the weather. The Long Handle Bulb Planter will save your back as no digging is required and also allows you to penetrate through tough or firm soil using your foot to provide leverage. Mainly used in September and October when planting spring flowering bulbs such as daffodils, tulips and alliums or in May when planting summer bulbs such as gladioli. The Countryman Range has been designed for the gardener who requires a tool they can rely on to provide years of dependable service.
