1,271,552. Dibbling accessory. MAYER K.G. 22 Sept., 1969 [20 Sept., 1968], No. 46664/69. Headings A1B and A1E. A device for regulating the amount of soil used in a plant pot during a dibbling operation by allowing a truncated cone of soil of controlled size to be built up in the pot comprises a plate 1 leaving one or multiple upstanding wall or walls 2 (one for each pot) in the plate which taper in a direction away from plate 1. The top of said walls may be left open to receive a dibbling tool, or may have said tool 14', 14 attached at its underside facing pot 7. The size of the truncated cone can be altered by choosing the diameter of the underside of the arched portion either to be greater, lesser or equal to the top diameter of the plant pot, and in the first case an annular skirt is provided around the plant pot top to hold the soil. In the open plate embodiment the volume of soil remaining after dibbling is also controlled by the clearance between the plate orifice and dibbling tool. Adjustable length spaces 22 can be fitted between plate 1 and pot support base 23 to control the downward extent of dibbler travel.
