Its a bulb planter and the side has a spring on the handle so it will go in and out, apart from bulbs, what other use (or good) can it be used on the lotty? I dont suppose I can put spuds in with it? (seems far too small for that)

Yea that's the one, someone gave it to me, and i cant see what use im going to get out of it, that's maybe why he gave it to me!!

use it to plant your taters, or any plant that you've grown in pots or modules

Could you use it to mash spuds

I grow loads of leggies in the coffee cups from the office / canteen machines.   I've made a planter that is exactly the same dimensions as the inside of the cups.  So it's out with the soil plug and in with the veggie plant.  Root disturbance - nil.   

I'd check the size against a cheap or free cup and use those with this gadget in mind when it comes to planting out.        Cheers,     Tony.

I have used one in the past to remove weed tap roots.

I dig a spade depth and then use the bulb planter to go a bit deeper. Plant potato then put the earth back as the plant grows, saves to much earthing up.
