"Get Spring Bulbs In - From September to October plant as many daffodil and crocus bulbs as you can get into the ground. Your efforts will be well rewarded with a great show in spring. And, once planted, you need do nothing else to them... This is the essential tool for planting large quantities of bulbs in grass. Simply insert it into the ground, lift out the clod of earth, pop your bulb into the hole, then replace the soil." Garden Planner (September), Your Home magazine, June 2008
"For gardeners looking to light up their patch with some early colour, now is the time to get cracking and plant late winter/early spring flowering bulbs. Planting hundreds of bulbs using hand trowels can be a chore and a long handled bulb planter is worth its weight in gold, taking the strain out of planting and speeding up the whole process. The Sneeboer bulb planter is made to Sneeboer's usual exacting standards. The head has a handy foot plate and a good, sharp edge that cuts into turf with ease, and with a quick wiggle and twist removes a well formed plug of turf and soil, leaving behind a clean edged hole in which to place the bulb. I planted 50 bulbs in next to no time and found that not only was the tool easy to use, it also made planting a real pleasure." Matthew Wilson, Curator and Head of Site RHS Harlow Carr, Harrogate
Most gardeners are passionate about their lawns, and that’s why Sneeboer have designed and developed – with their legendary skill and experience – the Dandelion Spade. There’s no disguising the fact that a beautifully maintained green sward adds so much to the garden vista but unfortunately, it only takes a few misplaced dandelions (and other weeds) to spoil this view; however, their roots will be quivering at the thought of the 20cm deep scooped blade of this ash handled weeder! With a ‘t’ handle measuring 70cm in length, and a footrest on the right of the blade, you can say goodbye to crawling round the lawn on your knees too, as the spade measures a comfortable 1m overall.

A good looking lawn is the key to your garden's general appearance and you'll be rewarded for a stint with the Sneeboer Lawn Aerator by a glorious green carpet!
Combine innovative design with traditional hand forging methods and the result is a tool to be proud of - and one which helps breath new life into heavily compacted and well-used areas of grass. The two hollow tine aeration spikes - each 11cm (4") deep and 1cm (¼") in diameter - remove a core from the lawn, and this material in turn is expelled when you make the next holes with the 107cm (42") long Sneeboer Lawn Aerator. The 23cm wide crossbar gives the perfect foothold to exert downward pressure and we're confident the Sneeboer Lawn Aerator will meet with both your, and your lawn's approval!
