[AG-EQ] Question of the Day

[Tracy Carcione]

How annoying!  Whoever thought a digging fork with square tines could do
anything!  
Mine has very pointy tines, and a steel handle.  It's up to pretty tough
stuff.  The trick is climbing onto it and balancing there to shove the tines
down into the ground.  Gardening acrobatics.

Subject: [AG-EQ] Question of the Day

Q:  When is a digging fork not a digging fork?
A:  when it won't dig!
Some time ago, I bought, at great expense, a "high quality, long-handled,
strong * digging fork, and 
tonight, for the first time since purchasing :"it,  I wanted to put its
digging attributes to work. 
However, my need was not met as the tines are quite squared off and will not
penetrate the baked and 
root-filled earth.
Well!  perhaps they night if the soil was, to some extent, cultivated  and
the downward pressure on 
the fork was being provided by the foot of a 6 foot 6 22 stone sumo wrestler
but as said downward 
pressure was being supplied by the foot of a less than 5 foot:  never mind
the weight:80-year-old 
weakling, it wouldn't!
I really don't know on what planet manufacturers live as I buy one product
after another and one 
look tells me that this article was never tested before it went into mass
production.
