The Spear and Jackson Traditional Bulb Planter is designed for avid gardeners looking to plant bulbs with precision and ease. Its primary benefit is the combination of a sharp, stainless steel head and an extended handle that significantly reduces the need for constant bending and back strain. While it is an excellent tool for standard garden soil, it may encounter resistance in extremely rocky or heavily compacted clay ground where manual pressure alone is insufficient.

The outside tube diameter is approximately 40-42mm, which is suitable for most small to medium-sized bulbs.
It can be used in clay, but you may need to apply more pressure and clear the tube more frequently to prevent soil compaction.
No, the handle length is fixed to ensure structural integrity and durability.
While stainless steel is rust-resistant, it should always be wiped clean and dried after use before being stored in a dry place.
The blade length is 130-133mm, which is generally sufficient for most common bulbs, but check your specific bulb's planting depth requirements.
Ensure the soil is sufficiently moist. If the ground is too hard or baked by the sun, water the area lightly before planting to soften the earth.
Avoid over-compacting the soil inside the tube. If soil persists, gently tap the side of the planter or use a narrow stick to dislodge the debris.
No assembly is required for this product; it is ready to use straight out of the box. To maintain the tool's effectiveness, ensure that you clean the blade with a soft brush or cloth after each use to remove damp soil that could cause minor surface corrosion. Periodically inspect the hardwood handle for any signs of dryness; applying a light coat of linseed oil once a season can help preserve the wood and prevent cracking. Store the tool in a dry, cool environment using the provided leather strap to keep the blade off the ground.
