[TheForge] Shovels and the History Channel

[Jerry Smith]

Folks,

Last season I spade up my garden in a field that had
not been tilled for 20 years or more. Lots of back
breaking work and a spade blade that cracked.

On the History Channel they had a show about shovels,
they showed the most aggressive garden shovel ever
produced in a factory. The spade is spring steel, it
has saw teeth and a reinforced fiberglass handle. I
couldn't find it at my local stores, so I checked on
line for it.

Ace Hardware on line had it, $45.90, with free
shipping, if you used google to order it, your first
order gets a $10.00 discount, so it was $35.90. I
ordered it Tuesday and it came today.

BTW it's a Seymour S710 shovel or spade.

It works really well, cuts roots easily. I could not
make something like this for that price.
