Moisten the soil slightly before use, or ensure the steel head is clean and free of debris. For very hard soil, you may need to loosen the top layer first with a trowel.

Care: To ensure longevity, clean the dibber after each use. Wipe the wooden handle with a dry or slightly damp cloth to remove soil residue. Avoid prolonged exposure to moisture. Periodically, you may wish to apply a light coat of natural oil (like linseed oil) to the wooden handle to preserve the wood. The steel head can be wiped clean and stored dry to prevent rust.
