A pointed tool used in gardening to make small holes in soil for planting seeds or seedlings.
From dib + -er (agent suffix). This gardening tool's name comes directly from the action it performs—dibbing into the earth.
A simple dibber is one of the oldest and most efficient gardening tools still in use—many are just sharpened wooden sticks, yet they're more precise for spacing plants than modern machines in a vegetable garden.
