Okay, let me tell you about this “round shovel” thing I messed around with the other day. So, I had this patch of land in my backyard that was just a nightmare to dig. It’s full of rocks and the soil is as hard as concrete. I tried using my regular shovel, you know, the one with the pointy end, but it was like trying to stab through a brick wall. It bent and I almost threw my back out.
Then it hit me. I remembered seeing this round shovel in my neighbor’s garage. He’s a big-time gardener, so I figured he might know a thing or two. I went over, and asked him about it, told him about my digging woes.
He said, “Ah, the round shovel, that’s for the tough jobs.”
He told me that in his experience, he knew the round shovel with its curved blade is way better for breaking up hard ground than a regular shovel. Also told me to find one with a fiberglass handle, it’s the strongest and it will last a long time. It can handle moisture and rust well.
So I went down to the local store and picked one up. I found one called the “Bully Tools 12-Gauge Round Point Shovel,” it had a fiberglass handle with a grip, just like my neighbor suggested. I got it home and started on that stubborn patch of land.
- First, I positioned the shovel.
- Then, I pushed it into the ground with my foot.
- And guess what? It sliced right through that hard soil like butter. The curved blade did an amazing job of breaking up the earth, and the sharp edges just cut through the roots and rocks.
It was a breeze!
I was able to dig up the whole area in no time. The round shovel made it so much easier. I even used it to mix some compost into the soil. It is a good tool to mix liquids.
Now, I’m not saying everyone needs a round shovel, but if you’ve got some tough digging to do, it’s definitely worth considering. It saved me a lot of time, effort, and back pain. And hey, if you need to borrow one, you know where to find me!
