Hi David:
I've used one of these to plant 1000's of  Narcissus.
It can work well in light soil, but with roots and rocks it's a tough go.
If the auger catches you can spin around like a top and  the auger stay put.
New way to get tennis elbow as well.

Arnold

Hi,

I always "dib" bulbs in for mass planting in Autumn - my "dibber" being 
a sawn off fork handle with a sharpened point. Last year I'd hurt my arm 
and used a foot powered dibber - a long piece of wood with a cross bar 
for ones foot.

Anyway, I was sent this advertising link this week:

https://cesdeals.com/product/…

The idea is one uses an electric hand drill and this bit to make holes 
for the bulbs.

Seems unlikely to me.
