Bulb planter stainless steel

For back-friendly and effortless planting of bulbs, this long bulb planter is suitable, which allows planting even in larger quantities and facilitates this in heavy soils, as very powerful work can be done. With the help of the cone ground at the bottom and the step welded to the side, a hole of reasonable depth is literally punched into the ground. When piercing the next hole, the earth pushes out upwards and can be filled again with the foot for the purpose of covering the bulb.

For more than 100 years, the family of the West Frisian blacksmith Jaap Sneeboer has been supplying their Dutch fellow citizens, known to be incessantly engaged in farming, dyking and horticulture, with the tools they need to do so. At Sneeboer, they use two different types of stainless steel for their traditional Frisian horticultural tools: a tougher one (with higher degrees of alloying) for the springs and grommets holding the handle and low-alloy steel that responds better to forging for the functional parts in the narrow sense. They weld the individual construction elements together, then ground and polish them by hand.

It has long become common practice to stamp and roll garden tools. However, we hardly need to describe the difference; we want to point out that forging is the only way to deal with a tool in all its details and strengthen the material in those parts where this is necessary for functional reasons.
