Digger recomendations

[Tonnystark]

For context: I'm located in rural middle Tennessee where the ground is mostly rocky clay and I don't have to worry about the busy-bodies that hang around public parks.

What features should I look for in a digging tool for this terrain? Should I go straight to something with a longer handle or start with the standard lesche?

In a park - a Lesche Trowel.

Groundskeepers don't view shovels in a friendly light . . . especially near sports fields.

I also endorse the Lesche for park duty.

In the field I recommend the Gravedigger Nemisis 36". Love it!

Welcome to TNet Tonnystark!

Charlie P. (NY) is correct. . .
I've been using a Lesche Digger for over 10-years now. . . the blade is a little bit shorter now from digging thousands of plugs but it still works like a champ.

Another nice tool is the Whites DigMaster. Unlike the Lesche, the DigMaster has serrations on both edges of the blade.

Happy hunting!

I like the Predator tools: Model 31C - Raptor digging tool.

I'm considering a Root Assassin. Heard good things about them.

Something STRONG. Your little lowes/home cheapo garden trowels won't hold up.
Same ground here, been there done that.
