Create consistent holes for bulbs in semi-cultivated soil
Bulb planters are not intended for coring holes in hard-packed, dried-out clay. You should till and amend a bed to a chocolate cake consistency and then use the bulb planter to cut nice round holes. Trouble is, most of us don’t do that. We buy a light duty planter and use it to sink holes in dirt that’s only slightly less hard than concrete. Then we cuss when the tool collapses in our hand or falls apart.
