Dibble What Is It?

12/14/2015

If you were to dibble in the garden would you politely wipe it off your chin or ask me to join in. Take a gander in most any gardening catalogue and you’ll find some really strange looking tools that are designed to give you a hand.  For instance, a dibble is used to make holes when transplanting or installing bulbs.  
Originally a dibble was nothing more than a six inch end section of a cows horn.  Well, needless to say cows didn’t cotton to that kind of activity and went on strike forcing mankind to use wood and plastic as an alternative. 

When choosing a dibble make sure it has a strong handle.  You’ll come across two different types: a T handle and a D shaped handle.  Both are ergonomically correct and easy to use. 

If you do a lot of planting or have a large yard a dibble can help you poke holes for planting purposes quickly and efficiently.  If you’ve never dibbled in your garden before, you don't know what you’re missing.
