FAQs
What is the diameter of the hole this planter creates?
This planter creates a consistent hole with a 58mm diameter.
Is this tool suitable for planting in heavy clay soil?
While the stainless steel finish helps, heavy clay can still be challenging. Ensure the soil is damp before use to improve performance.
Does the planter require assembly?
No, the tool comes fully assembled and ready for immediate use.
How do I claim the 10-year guarantee?
Keep your proof of purchase and contact Spear and Jackson customer support through their official website should any manufacturing defects occur.
Can I use this for plants other than bulbs?
It is designed primarily for bulbs, but it can be used for any small bedding plant that fits within the 58mm diameter.
Troubleshooting
Soil plug is stuck inside the cylinder
Ensure the spring-loaded handle is fully depressed and verify that no debris or small rocks are wedged near the ejection lever.
Tool is difficult to press into the ground
The soil may be too compacted or dry; lightly water the area before planting to soften the earth for easier penetration.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
This tool arrives ready for use without any assembly required. To maintain the longevity of your bulb planter, always rinse off excess soil after each session to prevent debris buildup near the spring mechanism. While the stainless steel body is rust-resistant, wiping it with a light coat of machine oil before seasonal storage will keep the moving parts operating smoothly. Store in a dry shed or garage to ensure the spring remains free from seasonal corrosion.
