Gardena 3412-20 Bulb Planter – Steel with Depth Scale

The GARDENA Bulb Planter takes the hard work out of one of autumn's most satisfying garden jobs. Rather than crouching down to dig individual holes with a trowel, you simply press this tool into the soil, pull it back up with a neat core of earth inside, drop your bulb in place, and squeeze the grip trigger to release the soil back over it. It's a surprisingly quick and tidy way to work through a batch of tulips, daffodils or alliums, and your knees will thank you for it.

The depth scale marked on the shaft is a genuinely useful touch, letting you plant each bulb at exactly the right depth without any guesswork. Different bulbs need different planting depths, and having a clear visual guide means you can work confidently and consistently across a whole border. The tool is built from high-quality steel with a Duroplast coating for strong corrosion resistance, so it should hold up well to repeated use and damp autumn soil conditions.

This is a well-made, purposeful tool that suits anyone who plants bulbs in any real quantity — from a keen amateur filling a cottage garden border to someone landscaping a larger plot. It's manufactured in Germany and backed by GARDENA's 25-year warranty, which says a lot about the confidence placed in its construction. If you plant bulbs every year, it's one of those small investments that quickly earns its place in the shed.
