King, just wondered if you had a chance to use it in a little dryer dirt. Looks like it works well in wet soil, but wonder about the harder ground? Let us know.

Interesting Tool...How would it do with Clay?

Very cool test, it might end up being and important tool. What i suggest is making it the length of a long handle sand scoop, so people wont have to bend down so much. Also, a depth gauge might help increase accuracy. Well, those are my two cents, you'll be getting a bill in the next two to tree weeks

Looks very useful for some areas. Might not be as good in this Texas clay. Definitely looks better than my holes after I fill them back up. Good writeup

Pretty cool. I've seen these for sale but never have seen them used / tested. How awkward are they to lug around?

Re: JW's Plugger (Tested Today)

looks like it could definitely be a handy tool.....I am still chuckling about the worm though! lol I too, would be interested to see how well it works in dry soil since I live in the high desert...the only time I would find soil like you show is in my yard within a half hour of watering! lol Let us know when you do more testing! Thanks for a great post!

Re: JW's Plugger (Tested Today)

Curious to see if the grass turns brown due to no root flap.

I think I'll stick to the old way.

I agree with depth gauge, I already been thinking of grinding some lines on one side every inch or two.

I don't think moist or wet clay to be a problem but very dry it might be like cutting into Concrete, Tool is designed more for the Parks and grassy areas.
