Power Planter Bulb & Bedding Black Auger Bit (3"x7") with 3/8" Non-Slip Hex Drive for Bulb Planting and Gardening Equipment for Grass and The Lawn, Mixing Paint, Earth Auger for Home Projects

I ordered the Power Planter for use in my vegetable garden. It arrived on time, well packed and in perfect condition. The first thing that got my attention was how hefty and solid the unit was...the craftsmanship was very nice as well. I used a 1/2 inch cordless drill with a drill bit extension to plant potted vegetables. The larges pot was about 19-20 oz. The unit worked as described. You need to keep a very good grip on the drill in case the Power Planter binds on a rock or root. By moving the drill back and forth while moving the planter up and own in the hole, I was able to make holes for plants that were significantly larger than 3 inches in diameter. Before the Power Planter, I had to fight the clay in the garden with a small hand shovel...difficult and time-consuming. The Power Planter is very fast and far easier. I am very satisfied with this product. The extra money I spent was well worth it for a quality product made in the USA and I highly recommend it.

My wife and I have a second home in Pennsylvania and last weekend we drove up to plant some bulbs. This was the first opportunity I have had to use this tool and I can tell you, it works WONDERFULLY. This is more than a bulb planter, think of it as a hand held tiller. I used it to open up the soil (admittedly the soil wasn't in horrible condition) for a solid 25 feet using a corded drill. It spit up the large rocks and broke up the smaller ones. I do have two small complaints however (nothing is perfect after all). 1. I would love it if the shaft was squared off instead of being round, as this would give the drill better grip. I did have to re-tighten the drill chuck a couple of times (this could be due to the fact that my drill doesn't use a chuck key, but is hand tightened). This is why I'm giving it 4 stars instead of 5. 2. I would love if they made a longer version of this, it would help save my poor knees. LOL All in all, this is a very good product.

Great for 3 inch grass plugs. This thing made quick work for making 64 holes for grass plugs. So glad I purchased this instead of the manual hand held plugged. I did the 64 holes in less than 10 minutes. Southwest Georgia with sandy loam soil. Very high quality. Update as I lost this one and had another 128 plugs to do. Luckily the pink one was a lot cheaper. Quality as always was great!

This item cut my flower planting by at least one-half. However, I used my Black & Decker cordless drill the first time and it stalled out when the auger hit packed soil. I switched to my more powerful DeWalt cordless the second time and because it had the power and the setting required the auger worked beautifully. As the instructions warn, if you are not careful it can get away from you very quickly. I would recommend this to any weekend warrior gardner because it is quick, it makes the hole exactly where you want it and it actually mulches up the soil a bit so when you put the plant into the hole you have nice soil to pack it down.

This works quite well . Fairly easy to use for elderly. Would buy again. You need your own Electric drill.

Very durable and efficient at digging. I used this auger not only to plant, but to dig some deep roots of a 10ft tree to remove (even though this probably wasnt advised by the manual) and it did so with no issues; made the job a lot easier. There’s cheaper listings for earth augers out there, but I’m glad I spent a bit extra for a quality item that will last me a while. It’s also by a family owned company that’s passed down from generations which is always great to see.

Bought 2 units. One failed on third use, the weirds failed. Not suitable for hard or stony ground

The tulip bulbs I plant are about 1.5 in wide. This 3 in wide auger is just the right size to loosen the soil around the bulb to ease sprouting. The 7 in depth is perfect as my bulbs generally need to be planted at a 6 in depth. Very sturdy construction. I use this auger with a Dewalt 20V drill, a very nice combination - powerful but not too heavy.

Love this product, wish I had got it sooner before I planted 200 bulbs using a spade bit on my cordless drill... this makes a bigger hole...than using the spade. really need to use it in combination with the longer bit...I also bought... as you need width as well as depth!!! sure makes life a lot easier using these. Highly recommend them not just for planting bulbs..can use it for putting plants in hard to dig soil...which I tend to have.

Solid product

What a fantastic tool, we wanted to plant 100 dafodil bulbs in the grass verge outside our house which was hard after a hot summer and full of roots, with a good quality 18v drill my wife and I completed the job in just under 30 minutes with very little effort. It is so good I am thinking of planting another 100. It's a great tool, very well made and very easy to use buy one and brighten up some spring time verges.
