    That is some nicely textured soil.

    I'd like to have about 50 cubic yards of that soil mixed into my sandy loam
    Never try to tell me it can't be done
    When I have to paint I use KBS products

    Most of the digging tools I find on the net would be useless for me digging in the Rocky Mountains. Recently I had to dig a gravel trench around a portion of my house, to get a wildfire certification for our property. Prior to digging with a shovel, I had to loosen the ground with a jackhammer with a spade bit.

    "...digging in the Rocky Mountains". Lol, or is it just me?

    Any notice the cool little combination clamp-mount hand vise on the table, at beginning of assembly? I'll take one of those as well. Our soil is just like his; dark virtually black and readily worked. If weather cooperates, a bowling ball would sprout. But, no more green thumbs in this household...
