Burgon & Ball RHS Long Handled Bulb Planter – Professional Ergonomic Soil Corer

The Burgon & Ball RHS Long Handled Bulb Planter is a professional-grade tool designed to take the backache out of large-scale bulb planting. This specialized tool allows you to plant hundreds of bulbs from a comfortable, standing position, utilizing your body weight rather than arm strength. With an innovative angled blade and a dedicated foot bar, it penetrates even the toughest turf or compacted soil with ease, making it the ultimate choice for creating expansive naturalized drifts of daffodils, tulips, or crocuses.

Best For: Gardeners planting large volumes of bulbs in lawns or meadows, and those who want to avoid the bending and kneeling associated with traditional hand planters.

Key Features

• Angled Entry Blade: Features a uniquely angled stainless steel blade designed for significantly easier soil entry compared to vertical designs, reducing the force required to start the cut.

• Tough Foot Bar: Equipped with a heavy-duty foot bar that allows the user to apply maximum leg power to drive the planter into challenging or sun-baked ground.

• Clog-Resistant Tube: The specialized cut-away tube design improves soil plug removal, ensuring that cores are released cleanly and the tool doesn't become jammed with damp earth.

• Ergonomic T-Handle: A robust T-shaped handle crafted from FSC-certified hardwood provides a secure, two-handed grip for effortless twisting and core removal.
