Burgon & Ball Seedling Widger – The Essential Transplanting Tool

The Seedling Widger is a specialized, dual-ended tool that takes the stress out of the most delicate stage of gardening: pricking out and transplanting seedlings. Crafted from high-quality stainless steel, this tool acts as an extension of your fingers, providing the precision needed to lift fragile young plants without damaging their vulnerable stems or root systems. Whether you are a master of the greenhouse or a window-sill hobbyist, this widger significantly increases the survival rate of your home-grown crops.

Best For: Propagation enthusiasts and vegetable gardeners who grow from seed and need a precise, rust-proof tool for successful transplanting.

• Root System Protection: Engineered to slide effortlessly under the root ball, enabling you to lift seedlings cleanly and minimize transplant shock.

• Stainless Steel Durability: Constructed from rust-resistant stainless steel, ensuring the tool remains smooth and easy to clean, season after season.
• Optimal Control: At 18cm in length, it provides the perfect balance of leverage and delicacy for working in tight spaces like cell trays and propagators.

Oversized Item Delivery Options

Since oversized items require special handling, we may need to provide a custom freight quote for your order and will contact you with an updated shipping rate.

Available options include:

✔ Delivery to your closest depot for pickup - default method
✔ Direct delivery - requires forklift on site
✔ Direct delivery with tailgate lift truck (extra fees apply)
✔ Forklift loading at our warehouse (no extra charge if you arrange your own freight)
✔ Direct truck delivery (available in Victoria)

Important Notes:

• Shipping costs vary by location and method
• Because of the forklift requirement, delivery to the nearest depot is the default option and will be the method used unless you contact us to request otherwise.

Business Delivery:

• Business delivery is available for commercial customers only
• If you select business delivery and your products are bulky, it is your responsibility to ensure you have appropriate equipment (including forklifts) to unload products from the delivery truck
• If you select business delivery and you are not a business, you risk your product not being delivered and may incur additional fees to retrieve your order
• Business delivery customers must provide a valid business address and contact information

Let us know your preference, and we'll arrange the best solution for you!

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: Usually take 2–8 weeks to arrive, depending on supplier availability. Products from Adloheat may take 8–12 weeks to manufacture—they are made to order in Australia by a small business, and longer lead times reflect the care put into quality.

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.

Biosecurity & Interstate Shipping Restrictions

Due to strict state biosecurity regulations, we are unable to ship some products to certain states and territories:

• Potting Mixes cannot be shipped to Western Australia (WA), the Northern Territory (NT), or Tasmania (TAS).
• Seeds cannot be shipped to Western Australia (WA).

Orders placed for these items to restricted states will be cancelled and refunded. It is the customer's responsibility to ensure that the items being ordered can lawfully be delivered to their state or territory.
