We’ve spent decades testing tools and supplies for planting bulbs each fall and we keep coming back to a few favorites. Using the right tools and supplies makes the planting easier, and more importantly, ensures that you get the desired result come spring.<\/p>\n

1. Bulb Planter for Naturalizing<\/h2>\n

\"Bulb<\/a><\/p>\n

This planter for naturalizing<\/a> features rugged steel construction, a red finish for high visibility, and a lifetime guarantee on its performance and durability. It’s specially designed with a bend in the blade to offer better leverage for planting bulbs in unprepared, even inhospitable ground\u2014in the lawn, in a meadow, in the woods. At the business end is a notched, 2\u00bd\u2033 wide blade that slices easily through compacted and rocky soils.<\/p>\n

2. Essential Garden Spade<\/h2>\n

\"Essential<\/a><\/p>\n

<\/h2>\n

This Essential Garden Spade<\/a> should be kept within easy reach of every gardener. It has a comfortable Ash wood \u201cD\u201d handle that invites a sturdy grip. The hand-forged stainless steel blade is topped with boot protectors to increase leverage. We use our shovel to dig holes for new plants, move small trees and shrubs, create new beds, and turn over the soil in our vegetable garden.<\/p>\n

3. Daffodil Fertilizer<\/h2>\n

\"Daffodil<\/a><\/p>\n

Exclusive.<\/i> We developed our own Daffodil Fertilizer<\/a>, a slow-release 5-10-20 formula with trace elements, that gives the Daffodils a continual supply of nutrients while they are growing, from the time they initiate root growth in fall until the foliage matures in June. Daffodils and other bulbs like the extra potassium. It’s easy to scatter the granules on top of the ground in fall after planting your bulbs or to apply a light dressing (1\/4 cup per 10 sq ft) as new growth begins to push through the soil in spring<\/p>\n

4. Bulb Trowel, 18″ Long<\/h2>\n

\"Bulb<\/a><\/p>\n

This 18\u2033 durable trowel<\/a> is ideal for planting large numbers of small bulbs because it’s designed to stab, not scoop. Jab the trowel straight down and pull the handle toward you to create a slot. The sharply pointed, stainless-steel blade slices effortlessly through sod or garden soil.<\/p>\n

5. Ultra-Cushion Knee Pads<\/h2>\n

\"Ultra-Cushion<\/a><\/p>\n

Take good care of your knee joints and your clothing, too. These deluxe knee pads<\/a> are made of shock-absorbing EVA foam that\u2019s surrounded by 2 layers of memory foam. They fasten securely with flexible, adjustable hook and loop straps that won’t grip your legs too tightly. The blue exterior is made of waterproof, durable neoprene that dries fast and can be wiped clean.<\/p>\n
