Re: A more better digging bar - much more
The tree planting bar is not long enough or strong enough for prying. They are meant only to make a hole big enough to slip a small seedling into the soil.
If you have never tried to remove a decent-sized, well-rooted pup, it is hard to understand what it takes.
When you use the chock to help you pry the pup out, you are gaining a lot of leverage, but you also need something that is strong enough to take the force that you develop by pushing down on your "pry bar". 3/4 Galvanized pipe is insufficient. 1" was fairly respectable.
This tool in about 1" solid steel.
