The action or technique of using a dibber to make holes in soil for planting, or fishing by letting bait gently dip in water.
From dib + -ing (present participle/gerund suffix). This describes the continuous action of the centuries-old planting and fishing techniques.
Dibbing combines precision and patience—a skilled gardener can dib hundreds of plants in an hour with rhythmic efficiency, which is why it remained competitive against mechanized planting until the 20th century.
