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

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 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.

Planted out a large bag of naturalising bulbs using the ProPlugger.Very glad I bought it, saved backache.Solidly made will last years.Asset to the garden shed tools.

Anyone who has a large number of bulbs to plant and little time to do it is going to need help.There appear to be plenty of gadgets out on the market. I found this one recommended on a gardening website but it was watching the promotional video that made decide to risk my cash. My order arrived a day or so late but not to worry. The item itself appears to be pretty sturdy. Only time will tell if it lasts. My concern is that the weld between tube and footrest will be strong enough to deal with tough comapcted soil.So far I have used it once and really is as quick and easy to use as the video suggested. My soil has quite a lot of clay. As the plugs built up inside the tube the first to go in rose to the top and you just pop it back into the hole. So, slightly amazed but pleased with this 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.

Use mine to take out plugs of grass from my garden where my dog has peed,then replace with grass i have grown in plant pots! Works great

Having completely messed up my back in an accident at work, I couldn't plant bulbs in the usual way, so decided to try this. It is just as effective as the description suggests. Despite being temporarily rather painfully disabled, I managed to plant 500 bulbs in a single afternoon because this tool requires so little movement or effort. (As I can't bend, I enlisted 2 small children to replace the earth I knocked out of the tool before I trod it in over the bulbs.) I am really impressed with this product.

I'm using this to introduce wild flower plugs and to plant bulbs. It's quite expensive but well worth the price. It's excellent, really sturdy piece of kit and very easy to use. Haven't had any plugs stuck in the handle as yet, they come out with a little tap, but that could be because my soil is full of small fibrous roots, being mainly peat and is always fairly dry. I'd previously tried an Auger attached to an electric drill, which was useless and returned as all it did was make flat circles in the grass. This is a 100% improvement. Would highly recommend
