Gridder Dibble Spikes create deeper, more defined planting marks with compatible Gridder Spools. They are especially useful in firm or compacted soil and for punching planting holes through plastic mulch.
Each stainless-steel dibble slides onto the spool and is secured by a strong rare-earth magnet, so no tools are required.
Each dibble measures 1.5" wide × 3.75" long and weighs approximately 1 lb.
COMPATIBILITY
- Fits bolted 3-, 4-, 5-, and 6-row Gridder Spools
- Does not fit 2-row Gridder Spools
- Does not work with the Gridder Single Row
- Older welded spools may require grinding of weld material before dibble installation
Nine dibbles are used on a 3-row spool.
Because each dibble weighs about 1 lb, fully equipped 5- and 6-row spools become especially heavy.
TRANSPORT & HANDLING
Always remove the dibbles from the spool before moving the Gridder. Store them on a Gridder Dibble Holder, then roll the Gridder from place to place with no dibbles installed on the spool.
REQUIRED WITH A GRIDDER HANDLE
Gridder Handle Extended Spool Holders are required when using 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.

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.
