The Burgon & Ball Estate Range Dibber is a masterclass in traditional planting efficiency, part of the heritage-inspired National Trust collection. Designed to bypass the need for a trowel when transplanting, this tool features a sharp high-carbon steel point that pierces the soil with minimal effort. Its classic T-shaped handle and antique bronze finish evoke the quality of a bygone era, while the integrated depth gauge ensures modern horticultural precision. It is the perfect blend of timeless style and practical functionality for the potting shed and garden border alike.

Important Note on Availability & Shipping

Our warehouse serves as our office and logistics centre rather than a retail showroom. Because we ship from multiple locations and manage high-turnover stock, not all items are available for immediate pickup.

Lead Times:

• In-Stock Items: Usually ready for dispatch the same day.
• Supplier-Dependent Items: Can take up to 2 weeks to arrive.

While we strive for fast delivery, some timelines are subject to supplier availability and are beyond our control. We appreciate your patience as we source the best quality gear for your project.
