Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
The Thompson & Morgan Handheld Bulb Planter requires no assembly. It is ready to use straight out of the packaging.
Compatibility:
- Soil Type: Best suited for soil that is reasonably loose and free from large stones or heavy clay. For very hard or compacted soil, it is recommended to loosen the area slightly with a fork or spade before using the planter.
- Plant Types: Ideal for all types of bulbs (e.g., tulips, daffodils, crocuses, hyacinths, alliums) and seed potatoes. It can also be used for planting other similarly sized items that require a consistent depth.
Care Instructions:
- Cleaning: After each use, remove any excess soil from the planter. Wipe the metal parts clean with a damp cloth. Avoid using harsh detergents.
- Drying: Ensure the planter is completely dry after cleaning to prevent rust.
- Storage: Store the bulb planter in a dry place, such as a shed or garage, to protect it from the elements.
- Handle Care: Periodically check the wooden handle for any signs of wear. If desired, you can apply a light coat of wood oil to maintain its condition.
