How to use

Hold the dibber by the handle and position the forked head where the seedling or bulb will be placed.

For transplanting, place the seedling into the hole and firm the soil around the roots with the dibber or your fingers. Use the forked side to lift shallow weeds or to aerate the topsoil before planting.

Usage recommendations

Use the tool in moist but not waterlogged soil for easiest penetration and minimal root disturbance. Clean the head after use and dry before storage to reduce corrosion and maintain tool life. For tougher or compacted soils, loosen a small area with a larger fork first, then finish with the dibber for accurate planting.
