on my last trip to a future spot to dig I took a pitchfork to try out, but was pretty much useless.
the only thing it worked for was throwing away the sods, but the sods first had to be stabbed free with the shovel. and I could throw them away quicker and more efficient with just my (gloved) hands
I hoped the fork could lift the sods out of the ground without the stabbing that the shovel requires, wich is most pf the work, but that just doesn't work, the stabbing is necessary and the fork doesn't work for the stabbing.
so I won't be taking a pitchfork with me again
