Default Re: Digging bar - excellent tip!

It's pretty sharp considering, it'd take my foot off if I wasn't careful. I'd say it's as sharp as your typical digging spade (the wide end). I looked at Lowe's today (just to see what they had) and most of theirs are much narrower at the bottom. The one I got from home depot is about 3-3.5" wide at the bottom, which I think makes a lot of difference. I think there's all sorts of digging sticks for various tasks. My dad always used one for packing in the dirt around posts when erecting a fence pole.

My only real complaint is the weight... it makes maneuvering in tight spaces a challenge at times, as you have to be sure not and rip up your other plants leaves with the top of the bar.
