Gardening Hardwood Planting Dibble, Fisher Blacksmithing

This traditional wooden planting dibble is hand-turned from domestic American Black Walnut, making it durable for many trips into the soil. The ergonomic design aids in planting of garlic cloves, making seed holes, or creating rows. This tool is popular with market growers, nursery workers, and others who work with flats and need to make repeated divots for seeds and transplants. It's great for digging up carrots and other root vegetable without cutting them too.  Dimensions are approx. 13″ long and 2.5″ diameter.

Each tool is individually crafted using traditional blacksmithing techniques. Steel is heated to a red glow in the forge and then shaped over the anvil with a hammer. All joinery is done using solid steel rivets. And, each tool is set into its own hand turned handle creating a long-lasting garden tool with no welds. American Black Walnut is used for handles. The tight grain of this strong hardwood makes it very durable. Best of all, it just feels good in your hand.
