Jim-Gem KBC Planting Bar
Works best in rocky soil that is difficult to penetrate. The KBC bar will penetrate soil cleanly and easily allowing less dirt to fall in the planting hole. Bar is 39” long. Blade is 4”W x 12”L, 1” thick at top, tapering to a point. Features a cast blade of special alloy steel. Blade and footstep are cast as one piece so footstep won’t break or bend, even under heavy use. Blade “spike” fits into handle to form reinforced joint. Strong weld at handle and blade joint.

My son and I planted 200 seedlings last weekend with the Jim-Gem and found it to be much easier than when we planted the same number last year with a spade. The tapered tip creates a slightly wider hole than a flat blade. The little bit of extra weight makes pushing it into soil easier than a standard garden spade. It's worth every dollar if you plan to plant more than 20 trees and is built tough enough that you will pass it down to your grandchildren.

The bar is very well made, but I am 6' 1'' tall and I wish the bar was about 2" longer.

I bought this in the hope that it would make planting small bare root trees in western Arkansas easier. My land is in the foot hills of the Ouachita mountains. Lots of broken loose shale gravel in the soil. My hopes were dashed. It was unable to penetrate the soil at all. I used a pick axe this weekend to plant 50 bare root white pine seedlings. Tough job. In retrospect I doubt this item would work in less rocky soil any better than a standard planting bar because the blade is very thick.

Best planting tool I've ever used! Perfect for my 200 seedlings that were just planted. Takes no effort whatsoever and not backbreaking like a shovel. Best investment we made this year for our planting. I will recommend this planting bar to everyone I know!

We have used these bars to plant 35,000 10 cu in plugs in ground made of mostly cobble rock with a little soil that was severely compacted with heavy equipment. After the rains came the bars worked amazingly. Use them like a pry bar to nudge rocks out of the way as you make your holes. No need to pound the ground!

Used the KBC bar instead of a shovel to plant a lot of trees on my property. This is awesome to dig little trees out with too, to transplant. You can just loosen the soil around the little tree and they practically LEAP out of the ground. I wish I had discovered it a long time ago. I am a female who leaves this thing in the passenger seat of my car; makes a great thing to shoo away bears, mountain lions, and strange men.
