K-Brands Auger Drill Bit for Planting – 4 x 12 Inch - Garden Spiral Hole Drill Planter for Bulb Planting, Bedding Plants, Umbrella Holes - 3/8 Inch Hex Drive Drill

got this to plant flowers an bulbs ,works great ,4 inch is a bit big for plants but it will be good for planting bulbs

I actually bought this thinking it would not work as advertised, but for the cost it was worth giving it a try. I was completely surprised after planning 50 small plants. It took a couple tries at first to get a hang of it but once I figured out the proper speed, I blew right through my project. I figured it saved me half the time then it would have. I love this dirt auger bit and would recommend it to those wanting to speed up the time you spend in the garden. I don't like gardening so the faster I can get in and out the happier I am.

I used the larger one to assist in planting shrubs. Although the width is not large enough to make just a single pass down, it worked very well when making multiple paths downward to loosen the soil when putting down 3 gallon shrubs. I even used it in the same fashion to plant 5 and 7 gallon shrubs. Use a variable speed drill on the slow setting because it will definitely spin around and hurt your wrist when you hit something such as a tree root.The smaller one is not of much use to me, but it could be used by someone to plant very small bulbs.

These augers are well made. I plant hundreds of seedlings with them. I use the 1 inch to drill a hole then fill with water because our soil is very hard in summer. Then use the 3 in to drill in the wet sandy soil. Works great even with my cheap drill.

The auger works perfect for planting vegetables and flowers. I used in our garden and it worked perfectly. Just make sure you keep a firm grip on your drill or it may jump out of your hands.
