Question

When digging a hole to plant a shrub in hard ground, is it better to use a long-handled or short-handled shovel?

Answer 1

Answer:

Large shovels

Explanation:

If you are wondering specifically when to use long handled shovels, they are better for tree planting and other hole-digging. Long shovel handles can reach deep into a hole. And you'll get better leverage, which is easier on your back. The lighter the shovel, the easier time you will have digging.
