Certainly not you grubby young man! It's a discussion about which implement to use when planting seeds. A dibber is what one traditionally uses. Mr Pallywotsitoos has just cleaned his. Ladymuck uses her finger, and I've lost my dibber so I use a pointed handle instead. It's all very simple.

Do keep up, dear. This isn't "Carry on Gardening" you know.

Oooo Matron. I actually used the thick end of chop stick to ease the seeds in.

Anybody who glances through my front window will see the product of my hard work basking in the sun.

I'm sure that if you ask Mr. Pallywotsitoos nicely enough, he'll gladly show you his. Indeed, rather proud of it is he.

It was my Fathers.

[legalbeagle]

Well that's mighty kind of you both, but I must decline. I've got my beady eye on a new dibber that I spotted recently. It looks like it'll do me just nicely.

[Michael Palaeologus]

Thats my problem. People keep passing over my old and experienced dibber for a newer model.

Of course, sex of compost, sex of bedding material, even big sex of seed that you will spread around your neighbours.

And if anyone needs assistance in emptying their sex around the place, then feel free to contact me, Stanislau, via HonaloocieB.

Laters.

Mr. Boogie! Of course what you do in Your Own Backyard is your own business. But what would Alice think? This Midnight Lady is Moving On.

[Michael Palaeologus]

I might be dibbing up your end in the not too distant future Mucky ...

[Ladymuck]

*now in fits of giggles*

I've only recently seen your thread on possibly moving house to "my" area! Phew!

In which case, we could all dibb together!

Group dibbing. Now we're talking!

I have a small trowel. Will that be acceptable?

Size is only an issue depending on the type of seed to be sown. What had you in mind?

[brum]

Why, only seeds that will become strong healthy plants, LM.

I have a small trowel. And I like it.

[Ladymuck]

Good for you brum. In any event, to be honest, there isn't much you can't sow even with the smallest of trowels. It has advantages over larger models too, e.g. easier on the hands/wrist due to it's light-weightedness, it makes accessing difficult/small areas much easier, and of course, it is less bulky to carry around. This list is not definitive by the way.

[brum]

Thank you LM, for realising the many benefits to be had with a small one, beyond just digging small holes.

[Ladymuck]

My pleasure brum. And do not forget to thoroughly clean your trowel after every use. That way you will not spread disease and it will last you for years.

[brum]

Indeed. Quite right too.

[Ladymuck]

Yes...a gardener is only as good as his/her tools. Which reminds me, watch out for rust. Don't expose your trowel to rain or even foggy air.

[Waldo]

I've had a terrible day and could do with some time in the garden. Pity I'm 420 miles away here in SE22 :(

[Waldo]

If I have to bold any of that I'm going to be very annoyed.

[Ladymuck]

Have your seeds germinated? Mine are rampaging away as though making up for lost time.

[Michael Palaeologus]

Mine too are galloping away. Just got some compost from Lidl and will do a little planting on this weekend.

Outside or in?
