[AG-EQ] Question of the Day

[Jewel]

Yes!  that was another thing, my chin was, almost, resting on my knee when I, finally,  got my foot 
onto the top edge of the fork, but the effort to do that would have been, greatly diminished, if I 
could have jabbed the tines into the soil:  just an inch would have made all the difference!

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.

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.
