The footpeg is facing backwards which makes it awkward and bad for your knees. Also the mouth is straight which means the soil doesn't work itself out the top. Had a friend weld the footpeg to the side and cut and tapered the mouth piece.

I am a professional gardener and have 1000+ bulbs to plant so ordered this planter since it seemed sturdy enough, which it is. Downside is that the footpeg is angled towards you instead of to the side making it awkward to handle.The footpeg is also placed too low, so you cant make the hole deep enough because the peg then digs in the ground. Finally, because of the non tapered shape of the planter, the soil does not come out of the top but compacts in the planter. Even with wacking the handle on the ground, (holding the planter upside down) it takes a number of good bounces to get the soil out, which in the long run will damage the handle. Maybe OK for planting 20-100 bulbs in a small garden but certainly not good enough for jobs bigger than that, I resorted to a normal border spade in the end.
