# How to Make a Dibble Board
A dibble board is a piece of wood with knobs or tabs attached in evenly spaced rows on one side of it. The dibble board allows you to poke dozens of the same-sized holes into the ground at the same time, speeding the seed-planting process. Make your own dibble board with some inexpensive materials and a few tools.
