Each widger though will generally start from a flat piece 10-12 inches long, tapered from around 1\/2\"-3\/4\" on one side to 3\/4\"-1\" on the other. Choose the style that best fits the work you do: cupped digging tip on both sides (option A), a digging tip on one side and a cultivating point tip on the other (option B), or a digging tip on one half and a rounded cultivating and weeding draw tip on the opposite side (option C). See the alternate images above to get an idea of the range of options.  \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e ","brand":"Red Pig Tools","offers":[{"title":"A- two digging tips","offer_id":52801391919396,"sku":"SR-HP06","price":25.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"B- digging tip\/cultivating tip","offer_id":52801391952164,"sku":"SR-HP06","price":25.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"C- digging tip\/weeding draw tip","offer_id":52801391984932,"sku":"SR-HP06","price":25.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1002\/0893\/5204\/files\/widger.jpg?v=1775930852"},{"product_id":"stand-up-3-bulb-planter-bulldog","title":"Stand Up 3\" Bulb Planter (Bulldog)","description":"\u003ch3\u003ePlant Lots of Bulbs without Crawling Around on the Ground\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn our household, we plant bulbs the old fashioned way. Samantha or I crawl around on the ground, dig small holes with a \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/planting\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003etrowel\u003c\/a\u003e or use a \u003ca href=\"\/products\/forged-dibble\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003edibble\u003c\/a\u003e and drop each bulb where we want it. Oh, and we mainly plant small bulbs because Samantha loves to see tulips and daffodils popping up early in the season. For those gardeners out there who are more serious with their bulb planting, who plant larger bulbs in volume, or who simply do not want to get down in the dirt when planting new bulbs, this forged bulb planter might be the tool for you.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA simple, functional design with treads to help drive the planting cylinder down and a T handle to twist, you will find yourself able to make hole after hole after hole...and then make more holes. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe do make a Red Pig Garden Tools version of a bulb planter upon request - and generally only if you need a 4\" wide hole or something deeper or more custom to your situation does it make sense to have us make you one. We think this one from the Bulldog Tools line is more than adequate for most gardeners and offers a great combination of performance and price. Like all the forged Bulldog brand tools we sell (no we don't make the Bulldog line ourselves, it is an old English brand with operations now mainly in Asia), we think this forged tool fills a need.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Bulldog Tools","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52801416659236,"sku":"OM-M065","price":115.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1002\/0893\/5204\/files\/bulldog-bulb-planter-t-handle-top-view.jpg?v=1775932131"},{"product_id":"planting-trowel","title":"Planting Trowel","description":"This new planting trowel is our take on a great old trowel design probably from the 1930s or 1940s. We haven't tracked down the original design or maker. We came across it when one of our customers found a rusty old trowel head in their field in California. They asked Bob to duplicate it for them back in the early 1990s. Last year, they sent that trowel back in and asked Seth to make a couple more more them - a his and hers set, each with a slightly different angle in the shank. Seth really loved the blade profile and size and has decided it fills a small gap in our trowel offers for a smaller, planting trowel. With a minimal cup in the blade, a low handle angle, and a smaller overall profile it fits the bill perfectly for planting, weeding, and work in planters or containers.
