Used to swear by those auger attachments until I hit rocky clay. Total disaster that cost me half a day. The old manual digger is slow but it actually works.

Actually, that price sounds about right for a new book back then. The interesting part is that it sold poorly and got mixed reviews at first. Makes you wonder what else we might be wrong about today, doesn't it?

Forget thimbles, just learn to push through the pain like we all did.
