Garden Power Tools: ‘You can dig it’

One of the newer efficient forms of irrigation is subsurface drip irrigation. But I was recently asked if the underground network of tubing wouldn’t be problematic for digging and other gardening issues. Well, after my latest trip to the CLCA Landscape Industry Show, I got one good solution to the question of digging: a product called “You can dig it”: a simple, easy to use, small digging power tool.

Take a look at the “You can dig it” tool in the video below. It looks rather like an adapted beater attachment for a kitchen mixer. The heavy-duty beater does to the soil what a good home mixer does to heavy batter. This easy dig solution would be perfect for areas where irrigation lines or tubing, electrical wires like low voltage or any other ground lines could make digging a problem. I’m thinking the “You can dig it” looks like an ideal tool for people with a lot of digging to do or as an aid for people with hand problems. Think of how easy it would make vegetable gardening or annual flower bed upkeep – both gardens that require constant planting upkeep.

To see more about this convenient little device, check out the informal little video I shot at the Landscape trade show. Who know? Maybe this is just the little garden power tool that would make gardening more enjoyable for you.
