I Planted 5,500 Bulbs This Fall.
Here's The Only Tool That Made It Possible.

Let me save you the backache, wasted weekends, and money I spent on tools that didn't work.
Over the past five years, I've tried $85 ergonomic hand trowels, a $120 bulb planter that promised "zero effort," fancy kneeling pads (that still left me aching), a long-handled bulb planter that kept jamming, and even paid my neighbor's teenager $15/hour to help dig holes (he quit after 30 minutes).
Five failures. One winner. Here's what actually worked:

TLDR: The Eazy Garden® auger turned planting from dreaded chore into something simple 👇
1. I Actually Got Everything Planted
For years, I'd buy 200 bulbs and only plant 80 before my back gave out. The rest sat in my garage until I threw them away.
This year with the auger? All 5,500 bulbs in the ground. Done.
My cordless drill does all the hard work. I just guide it. What used to take me all weekend now takes a few hours over coffee breaks.
No more guilt about wasted bulbs sitting in boxes.

2. My Arthritic Hands Could Handle It
I have arthritis in both wrists. Some mornings I struggle to open jars.
The thought of gripping a trowel 500 times? Impossible.
With the Eazy Garden® auger, my hands never hurt. The drill does the twisting and pushing. I just hold it steady.
One customer is 78 with weak wrists—she says this tool changed everything. If it works for her, it'll work for you.

3. It Powers Through My Clay Soil
My yard is basically concrete. Hand tools would go 2 inches down and stop.
The auger drills through 8 inches of hard clay in under 30 seconds. The spiral lifts the soil out as it goes.
My hand trowel? That same hole took 5 minutes and left my hands cramping.
One gardener with pure clay soil said this made the difference between planting or giving up entirely.

4. No More Back Pain
I used to plant 50 bulbs with a trowel and couldn't stand up straight for three days.
This year? Zero back pain.
I stay standing up while the auger drills. No kneeling. No bending over until my spine screams.
My chiropractor asked what changed because my back was so much better this fall. That's worth way more than $39.95.

5. Every Hole Is Perfect
When you're on your 200th hole by hand, you get sloppy. Some holes are 4 inches deep, some are 7 inches. Bulbs bloom unevenly.
The auger makes identical holes every time. Same depth. Same width. Perfect for proper bulb planting.
This means bulbs emerge together and create those coordinated displays you see in magazines.

6. It's Fast—Really Fast
One gardener timed it: hand digging takes 60 seconds per hole. The auger? 10 seconds.
That's over 6 times faster.
For 100 bulbs, that's 1.5 hours vs. 15 minutes. For my 5,500 bulbs, I saved myself 120 hours of backbreaking work.
I got my weekends back.

7. It Handles Real-World Problems
Sometimes you hit tree roots. Sometimes there are rocks. Sometimes you need to plant between existing flowers.
The auger adapts. Hit a root? Reverse and reposition. Rock in the way? The sturdy steel handles it.
One user successfully planted even with fibrous roots everywhere. It works in actual gardens, not just perfect conditions.
This means bulbs emerge together and create those coordinated displays you see in magazines.

8. One Tool, Many Uses
After bulb season, I kept finding uses:
Spring bedding plants (those 4-inch pots)
Mixing fertilizer into soil
Aerating compacted areas where grass won't grow
Installing garden stakes
Planting garlic in fall
One professional plants 100,000 tulips annually with these augers. If it handles commercial work, it's perfect for home gardens.

9. Actually Built to Last
I almost bought a $12 knockoff on Amazon. Thank goodness I didn't.
Eazy Garden® auger is solid steel with enamel coating. It doesn't bend. It doesn't break.
One landscaper used theirs for three years straight—90,000 holes. Still going strong.
Plus it comes with a lifetime warranty. When's the last time your garden trowel had that?

Here's what I wasted:
Ergonomic trowel: $85 (still hurt)
Long-handled planter: $120 (kept jamming)
Kneeling pad: $35 (didn't help)
Neighbor's kid: $30 (quit after 30 minutes)
Physical therapy: $135 (3 visits for my back)
Total wasted: $405

And unlike everything else, it actually worked.
