I liked the planter being very sturdy easy to use. I have a flower gardener under some trees and this planter cuts through the web of roots in the bed. It will NOT cut through any root over 3/8". I weigh 250# and the weight helps me drive the planter as deep as I need The rings that adjust for 2" and 4" depth are sturdy and do a good job . If you use the ring for 15 or more holes, you will need to tap the rings to get them off the tube. The reason the ground comes out of the main tube is that the end that goes into the ground is a little bit smaller in diameter than the main tube body. I would highly recommend this planter to every one who plants bulbs. One last comment is that the planter is well balanced and relatively light.

Fast delivery and arrived in a well packaged undamaged box. The ProPlugger works great and I would recommend it to others. Family members that were watching me use the tool were amazed at how well it worked.It is a durable tool that I would expect to last for years and years. There is nothing really to break on it. If something did fail it would be from rust secondary to leaving wet soil on the tool after use or by leaving it outside laying on the ground. It appears to be covered with a durable powder coating. The coating covers all of the exterior surfaces and just a portion of the inside of the tube on the top and bottom.My soil has lots of clay in it. I worried about the plugs sticking inside the tube, but it does not. The lower portion of the tube, below the foot pegs, has a tapper that makes it smaller diameter hole. Since the upper portion is a larger diameter, the plugs slide easily out of the top.My soil is pretty moist right now and slightly muddy on top. It has been raining on and off for a couple weeks. I've only used the 6" depth setting. I prefer to get a deeper set of roots. I’ve done about 50 plugs so far. I weight 165 lbs. and a bounce on the foot pegs would bury the tool up to the foot pegs in my moist soil. Once the desired depth is obtained, a quarter turn of the tool allows the plug to easily come out of the ground. I'm using it to transplant Bermuda grass. Bermuda grass roots could be seen at the bottom of the 6" plug. I found the tool to be a good length for ease of use. I wouldn’t want to run the tool all day long, but it isn’t too labor intensive to transplant 20 or so plugs at a time.I give this a 5 star because it works great and as advertised. I would probably prefer a slightly larger diameter hole, but it works fine the way it is. I wouldn't say a full tube of 6 plugs is heavy, but increasing the hole diameter would increase the weight of the tool and the weight of the plugs. As mentioned, my soil is very sticky. The bottom side of the foot pegs got caked up with soil. If the bottom of the foot pegs were closed up with metal instead of being open, it would help prevent this packing of soil in the underside of the foot peg. Ideally the tool wouldn’t be buried to where the pegs are touching the soil. Slightly above the soil would be better. This would prevent the soil from packing into the pegs. It would also prevent the pegs from tearing up the soil in bare dirt when the tool is rotated. The caked up soil was hard to clean out of the pegs. I used a stick and a water hose. You can see from the last picture that there is still some soil in the tight spots between the pegs and the tube.In the bare dirt where I was transplanting to, a couple plugs out of 6 tended to break in half when removing them from the tube. Ideally the plugs wouldn’t break in half, but I can't blame the tool for that. It was easy enough to push the broken parts of the plug into the hole.

High quality. Works great. Very solid construction.

Works fine most of the time in low to no gravel soil, but if you get a clog you may be in for real project trying to unpack wet clay, rocks, whatever from the barrel the ProPlugger. Earlier this year I began plugging a section of my yard when soil moisture and conditions were not conducive for using the ProPlugger. I experienced multiple time consuming compactions and blockages in the ProPlugger and my progress came to a screeching halt. I was finally able to put the ProPlugger back in service after a combination of rescue procedures including the use of a steel rod, garden hose with inline spray nozzle and auger on a drill—very, VERY frustrating and time consuming to unclog the ProPlugger!! As long you one doesn't experience clogs and are in areas of minimal rock the ProPlugger works great!I've used the ProPlugger when planting 900+ Zoysia grass plugs, but have recently changed to a cordless drill with auger configuration. I'm much faster with the drill and it is a lot less strenuous to use. Using the ProPlugger in gravely soil is a hassle and can really slow one down when planting, but the auger will bump and kick up the gravel for easy removal. Also, the ProPlugger removes a plug of soil without loosening up the surrounding soil and one is left with something like a firm cylinder wall of a hole. I feel that Zoysia in particular benefits from loose soil for its fine roots to grow and travel and this may be harder to do when planted in that "cylinder".As long you one doesn't experience clogs and are in areas of minimal rock the ProPlugger works great!Just my 2 cents!

The tool comes with two metal discs attached to it. It takes close reading or scouring the net to discover that they can be used to shorten the depth of the holes. Nothing mentions that you have to gently (????) hammer them back off.The tool works great for planting, if the soil conditions match those described on the instructions. Even if the bulbs are larger, one can just connect a couple of holes and you are good to go. I also suspect that it would be useful for deep rooted weeds.Turf mechanic has a very helpful YouTube on this tool.

Used it today to plant 1500 garlic bulbs. Works great. If the soil is to moist, the plugs can get very hard to get out of the tool. If the soil is too dry, the soil plug may not all come out. Still worked in my garden as the moisture varied as we were planting.

Sirve tanto para replantar cesped/tomillo silvestre,etc., como para eliminar malas hierbas desde su raiz.El huerto tambien es ideal para colocar los nuevos plantones de lechuga,coles,tomates,etc.

It is a simple enough product and I was surprised this was the only one of its kind.Well made, tough quality and simple to use. On packed dirt it takes some jumping and rotation, but you get used to it. I have transplanted healthy grass from several infertile patches on my lawn and it took root and started to grow right away.

Absolument indispensable pour planter les bilbes ! Génial, que ne l’ai-je connu plus tôt !

Hab mir den Plugger geholt, um schlechte sichtbare Stellen im Rasen mit guten aus nicht so einsehbaren Stellen auszubessern. Genial einfach, aber wurde bereits oft geschrieben. Bisher auch keine Verstopfungen. Erdreich hatte scheinbar die richtige Feuchtigkeit um nicht gleich zu zerbröseln oder zu verkleben. Stanzen bis der Plugger voll ist, umdrehen, von oben etwas drücken (Rohr ist konisch) und schon purzeln alle Plugs wieder raus.Thema Zoll: Hier muss ich voll und ganz dem Vorredner "D. Paul" zustimmen. Echt schon eine Hausnummer, was den Plugger nur unnötig verteuert. Versand ohnehin schon mit Aufschlag, kommen dann nochmal 17,20€ onTop in der DHL-Filiale bei der Abholung. Und NEIN, der Postbote zieht das Geld nicht ein, man muss das Paket selbst in der Filiale abholen. Das Kärtchen zur Abholung mit ausgewiesenem Zollbetrag zur Begleichung wurde mir zusammen mit einem anderen Paket vom DHL-Boten überreicht.
