Good solid sharpened edge post hole shovel.

Good solid ‘sharp’ shovel’.This review is for the Roughneck 42’’ 68328 Drainage and Post hole shovel.No trouble digging 2+ foot deep holes…but use the right tools this Drainage/Post hole shovel which has a heavy, hard, sharpened blade) to cut through hard, stones, roots etcI bought a ‘Nielsen post hole digger’’ as well, as I knew the ground was full of roots and in an awkward area,the post hole tool mean you don’t have to be on your hands and knees getting the spoil out of the hole.The shovel is heavy enough and sharp enough to cut the fibrous roots, (up to about an inch across maybe a bit bigger) and will also chip away and loosen stones.And then the post hole digger to get the spoil out.This tool will be fine in nice soft, clear soil.But you would not use these to dig holes in heavily stony or rooty ground on their own.No trouble digging 2+ foot deep holes… with both toolsbut use the right tools this Drainage/Post hole shovel which has a heavy, hard, sharpened blade) to cut through hard, stones, roots etcI bought a ‘Roughneck Drainage/Posthole shovel’ as I knew the ground would be full of Cotswold stones and tree roots.The shovel is heavy enough and sharp enough to cut the fibrous roots, (up to about an inch across) and will also chip away and loosen stones.And then used the 2 handled post hole digger to get the spoil out.You will have to switch back to the shovel, to loosen the next bit of earth, and back to the post hole tool to get the spoil out.Alternating between the two tools as required. Depending on the ground and obstacles in it about 10-20 mins per 2 foot deep hole.Obviously, if you hit very large stones or anything ready solid, you will have to try other methods to smash it up.If the dirt is very dry/hard, try thouroghly wetting it the day before to soften it.It is hard work (your triceps and shoulders will know about it the next day) but satisfying :)But it would have been ‘much’ harder and less efficient without ‘both’ of these tools.

Best thing I ever bought for the garden, mainly got it to help dig holes for a decking build and I don't think I could have finished the job as well as I did without this tool.
