GardenBee Stainless Steel Dibbler

Get the most out of your dibbler with these practical tips for common planting tasks.

Sowing Seeds at the Correct Depth
Press the tapered tip into the soil to the appropriate depth for your seed variety, then drop the seed in and close the hole. The dibbler creates clean, uniform holes without compacting the surrounding soil, giving seeds the loose, aerated environment they need to germinate quickly. For best results, first level and loosen your bed with the GardenBee Stainless Steel Rake before dibbling your seed holes.

Planting Bulbs & Corms
Use the dibbler to create individual holes at the correct depth for tulip bulbs, garlic cloves, onion sets, and other small bulbs. The tapered stainless steel point slides in smoothly and pulls out cleanly, leaving a hole the right size and shape to cradle each bulb without air pockets beneath it. Pair with your raised beds for a neat, organized bulb garden with uniform spacing.

Transplanting Seedlings
Create a snug planting hole sized to the root ball of your seedlings before transplanting. This is especially useful for transplanting young starts from trays into raised beds or in-ground rows, allowing each seedling to be set at the ideal depth with minimal root disturbance. For transplanting larger starts, combine with the GardenBee Stainless Steel Transplanter for a seamless workflow.

Creating Uniform Spacing Patterns
Walk down your bed and dibble evenly spaced holes in a grid or row pattern before planting, so your entire layout is mapped out before you begin dropping seeds. This technique works especially well for high-density planting in raised beds, ensuring you maximize every square inch of growing space. Use the dibbler in combination with the GardenBee Stainless Steel Scoop to add a measured dose of starter fertilizer into each hole before seeding.

Care & Storage
After use, rinse the stainless steel tip with water and dry before storing. The rust-proof steel requires no oiling. Store in the GardenBee Tote Bag to keep your full tool kit organized and easy to carry to any part of your garden.
