Heirloom Garden Dibber
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.
