Found a really nice digging tool at Home Depot for under $10. This tool rips through roots like a hot knife thru butter. Really strong, and well worth the nomimal money.
Nice find. Now..> if it could have just included a "ledge" to allow two handed cutting (the extra leverage is what makes the Lesche "work" in my opinion), it would have been perfect!
For $10, though, it's not a bad starter.
Best root cutter I ever used, though, was a really thick serrated steak knife. Worked even better than the Lesche for finding quarters at a snow cone stand!
