I dig by hand, though not opposed to mechcanization, I have many different tools to do this with: pick, round shovel, square shove, rock bar etc. There's just one tool thats name I dont know; it's tee shaped (just like a pick), has a slightly elongated ax head on one side and an elongated and thickened hoe shape on the other (same peice of metal). This thing has helped, more than I can say, in my digging endevours ever since I was a child. I first heard it called a hedgehog then it was a grub hoe, collins ax, finally a rootmatic. If anyone has any insight into the nominclature of this crater maker I would be much interested. BUT I'D REALY LIKE ONE OF THOSE TICKETS TO FURTHER MY KNOWLEDGE OF EARTHWERKS BOTH HUMAN AND MACHINE POWERED
