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.
Power tool makes garden digging easy
Wouldn’t it be nice to find a power tool that makes garden digging easy? Just think about using a heavy-duty electric egg-beater combined with the power of a drill and you have the concept behind a handy gadget for digging in your garden. ‘You Can Dig It’ has taken this idea and built a handy tool for working in the garden. The spinning egg-beater shaped tool head scoops out soil quickly and easily. As the demonstration in this video shows, it’s also a very handy way to dig without damaging delicate wires or tubing.
Subsurface drip systems are new and efficient watering choices that are becoming popular. But one of the questions frequently asked about them concerns the ease of damaging lines with maintenance or planting. This little tool provides a great solution.
Consider using the ‘You Can Dig It’ tool in vegetable gardens, too. This is an area where you are likely to have a constant turnover of plants. Using a light-weight power tool for digging that will keep fingernails clean and make the job quick and easy, can take a lot of work out of gardening chores.
I stopped by the You Can Dig it booth at the recent CLCA (Los Angeles) Landscape Industry Show and shot this little informal video. Here’s what Whyny has to say about the You Can Dig It tool:
To make the You Can Dig It tool even more enticing, you can see it comes in a choice of colors! (Notice the display in the back of the booth.) You might want to try out this power tool to make digging easy in your own landscape.
