The Gridder Dibble Holder stores Gridder Dibble Spikes and should always be used when moving or transporting a Gridder equipped for dibbles.
TRANSPORT & HANDLING
Before moving the Gridder:
- Remove all Dibble Spikes from the spool.
- Place the dibbles on the Dibble Holder.
- Roll the Gridder from place to place with no dibbles installed on the spool.
This is especially important with 5- and 6-row spools, where the combined dibble weight makes the assembled spool very heavy.
COMPATIBILITY
- Designed for Gridder Dibble Spikes
- For use with compatible bolted 3-, 4-, 5-, and 6-row Gridder Spools
- Dibble Spikes do not fit 2-row spools
- Older welded spools may require grinding of weld material before dibble installation
RELATED COMPONENT
Gridder Handle Extended Spool Holders are required when using Gridder Dibble Spikes with the compatible handle configuration.

The Gridder
Easy, quick, and perfectly straight plantings every time. This helps ensure even growth and faster cultivation.
The Gridder is a rolling dibbler used to lay out a grid for your plantings. It can also make straight lines before direct seeding or using a Paperpot transplanter.
Essential Tool
Gridder Spool Spacing
Below is an example of a two-row spool layout on a 30" bed.
Plants Are 15" Apart
Plants Have 15" × 15" Spacing
Even, straight plantings are more productive and easier to cultivate.
The Gridder creates straight, evenly spaced plantings. Each spool corresponds to the number of rows you intend to mark or plant, dividing the bed evenly by that number of rows. For example, a two-row spool on a 30" bed creates two rows spaced 15" apart. For even plantings, the in-row spacing and row spacing are the same.
Three rows on a 30" bed: 30 ÷ 3 = 10", so the rows are spaced 10" apart.
Four rows on a 30" bed: 30 ÷ 4 = 7.5", so the rows are spaced 7.5" apart.

Dibble Spikes
No tools required. No bolts or screws. These stainless steel dibbles are great for plastic mulch and hard soils.
