The dibble (or dibbler or dibber) was a tool used to make holes in the earth so that seedlings, seeds, or bulbs could be planted. A small hole could be made by just using the tip of the dibble, or a larger hole, up to the the diameter of the shaft, could be created by driving the tool farther into the earth.
