Bulb planter
01
a tool used for planting bulbs, such as tulips, daffodils, and other spring-flowering bulbs
What is a "bulb planter"?
A bulb planter is a gardening tool designed to make planting bulbs, such as tulips, daffodils, or lilies, easier. It usually has a cylindrical or cone-shaped metal or plastic tube with a handle, allowing the gardener to insert the tool into the soil, create a hole, and then remove the soil to place the bulb. The tool helps ensure that the bulbs are planted at the right depth, making it faster and more efficient compared to planting by hand. Bulb planters are especially useful for planting large numbers of bulbs in flower beds or gardens.
