Know before you buy
The Large Dib Popper is specifically engineered to work with Charles Dowding propagation trays. It is compatible with trays measuring 170mm x 100mm x 30mm.
While it is designed for the dimensions of Charles Dowding trays, it may work with other trays that share identical cell spacing and dimensions. However, for guaranteed performance and fit, we recommend using it with the intended tray system.
The tool features a cylindrical ejector design that pushes the entire root ball out of the cell simultaneously. This uniform pressure prevents the root system from being pulled or torn, which often happens when manually prying seedlings out.
Yes, the tool includes integrated screw holes specifically for bench mounting. This allows for a stable, one-handed operation that can significantly speed up your planting process.
The Dib Popper creates planting holes with a diameter of 0.47 inches (12mm) and a maximum depth of 0.87 inches (22mm), making it ideal for standard seedling transplants.
The tool is built for longevity and is rated for over 15 years of regular use. Its sturdy, manual design avoids complex moving parts, ensuring it remains a reliable staple in your gardening kit for years to come.
