Betty, have you done any digging in rocky areas with that shovel? I've got lots of rocks, and I'm pretty sure that they are held together with clay mixed with superglue. I can't get a regular shovel in there! I'd really love to clear out some areas to put a few plants in, but can't make a bit of progress. I don't have a tractor, which may be what it takes. Knowing my luck, the rocks are 10 feet deep, so even a tractor wouldn't work. But, if I can just get a few smaller holes dug in the area, that would be great!
I had to run to K-Mart one night to pick up some batteries, since they were the only store near me that was open. This was after Sears bought K-Mart, or K-mart bought Sears. They had Craftsman tools on sale, and I picked up a Craftsman shovel for less than half price! I think I paid $10 at the most for it. It's been going strong for at least 6 or 7 years now! It doesn't work in the rocky area, but has been great everywhere else. I was told at the time that there was a lifetime warranty on it. We've really abused it too, and it's as good as the day I got it. It was in the fall, so if any of you want a decent shovel with a fiberglass handle, I'd check K-Mart in the fall if you have one in your area.
