Since I dig hostas every day, and some of them are in large clumps, I
must have a dependable fork.(my digging tool of choice) After trying
several , with lots of them resulting in being broken or bent, I finally
went out and spent nearly eighty dollars ( for one!) Spear & Jackson
spading fork. This tool has paid for itself many times over. I have used
it for three years with no problem.
