It’s easy to get carried away buying spring bulbs. I bagged some at my local garden centre, picked up more while grocery shopping at Lidl, and not to mention the bulbs stored away in the shed from this spring. But when it comes to planting them all out, it can be back-breaking work, so I was intrigued when I spotted QVC’s long-handled bulb planter.
While how to plant spring bulbs in containers is pretty straightforward, planting them in the ground in flower beds and borders can be hard work, with lots of bending down that is a strain on the back, especially if you’re planting bulbs en masse (like me). So a tool that promises to be back-friendly and make bulb-planting quicker and easier too…I was definitely up for giving it a go.
