Hamilton Tree Planter

Description:  is Australian designed and made tool saves time and effort when planting tubestock. It can also be used to plant larger bulbs quickly, particularly when planbting in lawns or similar for naturalising.The Hamilton Tree Planter's key features include:• Makes a planting hole the right shape and depth so that trees grown in tubes can be easily planted• Allows the positioning of the root mass close to the soil so that there are no air gaps. This means that little or no watering in is necessary, as the main aim of watering in is to eliminate air gaps in disturbed soil• Reduces transplanting shock resulting in improved survival rates• Can be used in light and heavy soil types• One person can plant at least 400 trees per day• Has a hard wearing stainless steel head• Can be used to apply fertiliser tablets to established plants, placing them deeply in the soil where the plants, rather than the weeds, will use the fertiliser• Can be used without cultivation.The Hamilton Treeplanter is pushed into the ground by holding the handgrips and putting weight onto the footsteps until the desired depth is reached then it is extracted. If the ground is very firm, jumping up onto the footsteps and thrusting your weight down will drive it into the ground. The soil in the head of the treeplanter will be pushed out as the next planting hole is dug.The standard model is designed for square plastic tapered forestry tubes but other sizes are available on request. (The large 85mm diameter model is suited to transplanting existing seedlings with its existing soil).
