Digging Drill Bits
Similar to a bulb auger, these
oversized bits also attach to a drill
but create larger holes 4 or 6 inches
in diameter. Save yourself some
time (and sweat) when planting
multiple bedding plants — with this
tool it takes less than 30 seconds
to dig each hole. And the package
includes an extension rod so you’ll
have to do less bending or kneel-
ing. When you start, brace the drill
with two hands to help hold it in
place, especially if you’re working
in dense soil. Gardener’s Edge,

the set)4 | Jobe’s Organics Bulb Food
Sprinkle this granular fertilizer
around your tulips and daffodils
as you plant this fall, and you’ll prob-
ably notice bigger or more plentiful
blooms in the spring. In summer,
feed your lilies and other bulbs after
they bloom to increase the show for
next year. The instructions on the
bag are easy to follow so you can
know how much to use and when,
based on the bulb type. It’s organic
and beneficial microorganisms help
break down nutrients for plants and
improve the soil.
