  "You need a dibber", your friends may often say; but what is a dibber? A sterling question. A dibber or dibble is a pointed wooden stick for making holes in the ground so that seeds, seedlings or small bulbs can be planted. Dibbers come in a variety of designs including the straight dibber, T-handled dibber, trowel dibber, and L-shaped dibber. To put it simply a dibber is gardening tool used to make holes in soil in which to plant small plants, seedlings or bulbs. The dibber comes in all shapes and sizes; traditional wood, modern steel, plastic or a mix of all the above. Some have rulers on the side to give exact planting measurements and some are merely architectural devices used by the less precise gardener. So do you really need a dibber?
  Well that depends really. Imagine you have 30 seedlings to plant, all at the same depth - in this case a dibber would be great; it would help get a consistent hole right across the board and avoids getting too much soil under your nails or finger cramp!
  Perhaps you are a novice gardener who is unsure what type of hole you should be making for your new plants. Well, a dibber could come into play here.
  If you are getting very excited by the prospect of grabbing a dibber then perhaps the range of dibbers available will get your pulse racing even more.
  The dibber was first recorded in Roman times and has remained mostly unchanged since. In the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, farmers would use long-handled dibbers of metal or wood to plant crops. One man would walk with a dibber making holes, and a second man would plant seeds in each hole and fill it in. It was not until the Renaissance that dibbers became a manufactured item, some made of iron for penetrating harder soils and clay.

  Straight Dibber: As the name suggests it is a dibber that is straight… Classically made of wood, they can have a curved handle or steel spike. You could make your own straight dibber by carving a spike onto an old piece of wood.
