I tried out my new digger on some thick dead sod. In the past, I have used a 4" wide slightly rounded end trenching shovel with poor results. Very hard to cut through. A pickaxe works but is a lot of work for just going through sod. A wider sharp end shovel doesn't work well either because it makes a hole that is too large so is more work.

The digger blasted right through with precision. I'm very happy with its performance BUT it really needs a better name.
