A hearty amen to that, my dad buys the lest expensive tools and after two or
three uses they break. Spend three times that much and get a few good years
out of it-pays in money and time too.
On the large rocks, I do have a large iron bar, but most of our rocks are
under 30 pounds.
One bed made a few years ago was up next to the house and the old soil was 70
percent packet clay and 30 percent rocks, The shovel was almost useless and
had to use pickax to break up the ground and clay before I could throw in the
tractor trailer.
I think-or hope, I have become wiser- I make raise beds from now on and forgo
all the heavy digging.
