Heirloom Garden Dibber

$60.00

Dibbers (also known as “dibbles” or “dibblers”) are utilitarian objects that have been in use for many generations. Use it in place of a trowel by pressing (and slightly twisting) it down into garden compost to create a cavity for a transplant or seed. Dibbers cause less soil disturbance than trowels while planting, making them the perfect tool for no-dig gardens.

  • Walnut is exceptionally rot-resistant and so is the perfect choice for a tool that will spend its long life pressing in and out of soil.

  • Shallow notches mark every inch so that you can judge the depth of the hole you’re making. More frequently, I use it as a quick reference for plant/seed spacing by laying the dibber sideways on the surface of the soil as I lay out a row.

  • A leather strap provides a quick way to slip the tool around your wrist or display it on a peg rail.

  • Naturally finished with a mix of linseed oil and beeswax, this object is soft to the touch and will wear beautifully.

Please remember this object is hand-turned from reclaimed wood offcuts—no two pieces are exactly alike in grain / exact coloration / sizing. Embrace the variation and character of your individual piece.
