There's no doubt that October is one of the busiest months for us gardeners. From pruning to planting and winterizing ahead of frost, there's a time pressure to get everything done before it becomes too cold and wet. But, Gravetye Manor's Head Gardener, Tom Coward, says there's one tool that helps him and his team work efficiently at this time of year: a bulb planter.
Gravetye Manor is a historic Victorian garden in the English countryside of Sussex. Throughout its flower borders and meadows, thousands of bulbs are planted for impressive spring color. Instead of struggling through the strenuous task of digging holes, Tom and his team use a bulb planter to cut perfect bulb-sized cut-outs for planting.
