Bulb Planter

The Seymour bulb planter features a 3-inch wide head that allows you to extract a consistent core of soil. While the depth depends on how far you push the tool into the ground, the 38.25-inch overall length provides plenty of leverage to reach standard planting depths for most spring and summer bulbs.

Yes, the heavy-duty steel construction and beveled edge blade are designed to cut through tough soil more effectively than standard plastic or thin-gauge metal planters. However, if your soil is extremely rocky, you may still encounter resistance, as the tool is designed to remove a clean plug of earth.

No, the 30-inch handle is specifically designed to allow you to work from a standing position. This reduces strain on your back and knees, making it much more comfortable when planting a large number of bulbs at once.

The integrated foot step allows you to use your body weight to drive the blade into the ground. This is particularly helpful in compacted soil, as it provides the extra leverage needed to penetrate the earth without relying solely on arm strength.

After pushing the planter into the ground and twisting it slightly, simply pull the tool straight up. The soil plug will be held inside the 3-inch head, which you can then easily clear out before dropping your bulb into the hole.
