How To Level Up Your Gardening Game With Old Scrap Wood
By AMIRA GUNDEL
To speed up the process of repotting dozens of seedlings, simply carve some wood into the shape of a 2-inch pot to make a perfect indentation in a 4-inch pot to fit the seedling.
Shared by Epic Gardening on TikTok, this hack is based on a tool called a dibbler or dibber dating back to ancient Rome, used by farmers the world over to make repotting easier.
Once you’ve carved the wood into the angled shape of a 2-inch pot, fill the 4-inch pot with soil and press the tool into it to make a hole to fit the seedling from the 2-inch pot.
Then, carefully remove your seedling from its 2-inch pot with the soil still attached to its roots, and push it easily into the hole you just made in the soil in the 4-inch pot.
Aside from wood, you can use any material of similar shape and size to a 2-inch pot, like the wooden handle of a shovel — it’s not crucial to get the shape perfect for it to work.
