woofie said:Hey, what about one of those garden forks? Thing that kind of looks like a pitchfork, but shorter and with heavier tines?
That's what I have to use in an area in my yard that has a minimum of 4 different layers of rock in it between layers of dirt.. and only within the first 12 inches!!! The landscapers previous to me had put down river rock, then dirt was on top, then small (1/4-1/2") Colorado Red rock, then more dirt, then bigger Red rock, then more dirt, then pea gravel, then more dirt!! WTH!! So I just use my "spaghetti fork" to make the hole after soaking that area in water for about 2 hours the day previously.
