  I've always used my fingers or whatever bit of twig is nearby. 😄

  I wouldn't use a dibber for planting bulbs that size. It would compact the soil under the bulb if you want to get the hole deep enough. I would use a trowel or a bulb planter.

  Dordogne and Norfolk. Clay in Dordogne, sandy in Norfolk.

  I use a frozen sausage.

  Would that be a chipolata for crocus, and a black pudding for bigger bulbs?

  Yes, and a Bratwurst perhaps for the medium sized ones.

  If everyone was so sensible, butchers shops all over would be booming.
  Lovely flowers, and tasty sausages.
  What's not to like?
