Dibber

The other problem when you're hunting with a chronic dibber is that you have to adopt the habit merely to defend yourself. ❋ Unknown (2009)

The plot to which these early sowings are to be transplanted should be light and rich, and lying towards the sun; open the lines with the spade or hoe in preference to using the dibber, and as fast as the roots are dropped into their places with their balls of earth unbroken, carefully restore the fine soil from the surface. ❋ Sutton And Sons (N/A)

Therefore in droughty weather it will be advisable to draw shallow furrows and water these a day in advance of the planting, and if labour and stuff can be found it will be well to lay in the furrows a sprinkling of short mulchy manure to follow instantly upon the watering; then plant with the dibber, and the work is done. ❋ Sutton And Sons (N/A)
