I happen to know what that is.

1. Any good turner could make you a nice one.
2. There is a wooden citrius juiceer that is similar size and shape
(google "wooden juicer")

It's a garden planting took, used for making planting holes for bulbs or
seedlings. Bing or Google for it and you'll find a bunch of gardening tools
web sites that sell them.

It has been a while since I looked at garden tools. But $40 for a Dandelion
Weeding Trowel? Looks kind of like a turning gouge. Doesn't seem right to
invest $40 for a tool for a WEED!!

I keep thinking about I guy I knew growing up who used some kind of flame
thrower to take care of the weeds on his lawn. He ended up with burnt spots
on the lawn, but the grew in and he ended up with a nice green lawn. But
every spring, he had those burnt spots.

Is your OED a Hernia Edition? I have the Websters version of that.
Six inches thick and has a whole helluva lot of words in it, none of
which are textable.

I've seen and used them. "Dibble" was the only word known
here. You can make one out of a big spike epoxied into
wood that gets padded for comfort if you like. A bike
handlebar grip would also work for traction if you
have one about.

Try eBay. I'm sure if you searched (or saved a search)
under (dibble OR dibber) (antique OR vintage) you could
find a good one inexpensively. If the handle is tight and
solid, you shouldn't have any worries.

The nicest one that hit the eyes was an exemplar
bearing a strong, strong resemblance to one of
the kind of burnishers used by jewelers. The
fabricator used a swift-looking, stout piece of
polished sard for the working

to be prying with it--but, dang, it was a looker.

I have a propane flame weeder, but I don't use it on the lawn. It
is great on the brick walkway. Fire is always more fun than round-up.

Tried 5 Garden stores and the the first 4 had no idea what I was

$9.99.

The price is right. She might later like a long-handled
dibble if her knees don't take kindly to the shuffling.
Welding up a T handle tube on a piece of rebar and
put a perpendicular foot step a few inches up from
the sharpened working end and the operation eases.

If she wants to gauge penetration depth, the simplest
way is to tightly wrap a piece of flag tape at the desired
height.

Though germination procedures vary,
success is greatest if you put a seed that has just
germinated in the hole. For a lot of things, some time
between moistened paper towels vertically filed
between plastic separators in a plastic box kept in a
cooler dark place works great. The root should
go down with gravity, so she can orient them easily
on planting. Optimum time for removing them is
right before the upward part of the stem starts to
unfold leaves. Plant that upward end a bit below
loose ground cover and the seedling will have protective
time to adjust to the sun before coming up.

She if she buys the notion that the maker's
guild slogan for these instruments is "A little dib'll do ya."
Don't be surprised if she wants to run her fingers
through your hair after that. It's an Earth Mother
thing.
