Thanks so much for a wonderful resource list.  My every effort is searching 
for recourses for unique and functional tools to offer at my little garden 
center.  I've taught so many folks up here about "post-hole" planting (with 
our sandy soil...only amend the area where you plant the plant...also, it's a 
very good"no till" method).  

I've found some very nice post-hole diggers over the years...but they are all 
too pricey for my taste.  I usually end up "loaning" the ones I have...then 
sell it to the "loanees" when they return it delighted with how easy their 
planting project became with it's use.

I'll scour the sites you mentioned for a post-hole digger that I can market 
with assurance...thanks again...love and peace...lynnann

I need ideas and information (pictures, drawings, diagrams, text 
documentation) on hand gardening (and homesteading) 
tools, tried and proven and used worldwide in all cultures. Tools for working 
dirt and plants for gardeners, market 
farmers, landscapers, landscape gardeners, nurserymen and foresters are my 
main interest.
