ProPlugger 5-IN-1 Planting Tool: Long Handled Bulb Planter and Flower Planter

Great piece of kit, works exactly as it says it will. Robust and well made and made planting a lot of bulbs easy. Definitely recommend.

I don't often write reviews for things I buy from Amazon, usually they are fit for purpose and that is all they need to be but I am taking time to write a few words about the Pro Plugger. I planned a major bulb planting project for this Autumn. I am going for the "Full Field of Gold" trip for springtime. I knew I would need a serious tool for planting as other planters are either too flimsy or not easy to work with plus I wasn't looking forward to being down on my knees with a small hand plugger. Then I saw this tool, the reviews are good and the tool looks simple to use and seems to be effective. I bought it and began my project last weekend, I have flown through the work using the Pro Plugger, the pictures show the effects and results. The Pro plugger is solidly made and as some reviews mention heavy but that is part of its effectiveness, all you are doing is placing it pushing it down with your foot and twist/pulling it back out you only feel the weight in the last step but with the results you get it is a small price to pay. Others mention that the plugs aren't formed when they leave the tube, I would suggest that the soil you are planting in is cultivated and you don't need this for that kind of planting, my plugs are perfect as the picture shows, easily taken out and pushed back in. Lastly somebody mentioned that the end got damaged when pushed into the ground, yep, mine has sharpened up after successive use and improves the tools performance. The height of the took is just right, I am 6' 2" and I find it just comfortable, no back braking bending to get the bulbs in. This is a good piece of gardening engineering. I hope whoever came up with this is making lots of money from it and possible get an award for a simple thing well made. I write this review because this is a thing worthy of mention, this and no more. This part is an addendum. The last picture shows the tool after planting 4700 daffodil bulbs in my front garden. It has lost the nice paint job but is still one hundred percent effective.

This is a lot of FUN! I had a blast using this tool. The only issues I encountered were tree roots underground hindering my progress. The tool works fast and efficiently when the soil is clear, with a bit of coaxing and twisting it can break through roots also. The plugs gather up conveniently in the frame, and even when it's completely full it feels light and easy to use. It is very ergonomic and I was able to use it for a prolonged period without needing to take a break. It is very lightweight and in spite of this, packs an incredible punch. Highly recommend using one of these for bulb planting than digging them manually or using a hand tool. The job is done without pain and it is incredibly satisfying to use!

My main gripe with this otherwise excellent tool is that the soil can be tricky to remove from the tube once the hole is made. It is really sturdy and I had no fear of breaking or bending it even on quite heavy soil - getting the sods out was tricky sometimes though.

I planted 350 bulbs in a morning with this tool. It’s rock solid and will last a lifetime.

I have a long handled bulb planter that I was struggling with because it isn't all that sharp. A friend showed me this one and I had to get one myself. A lot less effort and not so tiring even when planting dozens of bulbs as part of a community volunteer scheme.

This plugger as other reviews have stated is a bit pricey but was unable to find it cheaper so went with Amazon. Fast deliver and well packed . It works as shown in video, easy to use and empties well. It's well made and sturdy and having used it a few times after it arrived can verify it works very well. Currently use it on my lawn to re turf dog urine spots , first impression hides the yellow stains but will have to wait to see how the transplanted circles re grown. Very pleased with purchase.

After reading reviews on some leading brands, where handles falling off and generally poor performance, decided to trade up. On the first impression expensive but I was literally blown away by the quality of construction, and on testing couldn’t believe how easy and well it performed. Now after 100 bulbs in various locations it has performed superb. I am not often so complimentary on reviews, but frankly this product deserves it. Ignore the price premium, it saves more than that in the time and effort saved. I am sure my neighbours will be borrowing.

Have already used this as soon as it arrived and it's great. Well made and does exactly what I need it to.

A parte la soddisfazione nell'usarlo, è proprio utile, soprattutto se si hanno delle zone nascoste dove poter prendere zolle buone da trapiantare. Molto utile per rattoppare le bruciature della pipì del cane

Works great for planting bulbs. I planted over a hundred bulbs this fall and it was so much faster (and easier since I have carpal tunnel syndrome) than digging holes by hand. I set the planter for the proper depth for the various bulbs and the holes were perfect. If the temperature is freezing, the soil will freeze in the tube, but normal planting temperatures are perfect. I enjoyed using this planter and look forward to using it next season.

Heut is nun der "günstige" Plugger zum Unkrautstechen gekommen. Und ich muss sagen, ich bin mehr als zufrieden damit. Also wer so nen Ding braucht und so wie ich hier und da Löwenzahn im Rasen hat, kann bedenkenlos zugreifen.

Sirve tanto para replantar cesped/tomillo silvestre,etc., como para eliminar malas hierbas desde su raiz. El huerto tambien es ideal para colocar los nuevos plantones de lechuga,coles,tomates,etc.
