Hard Digging County

[shovel leaner 7,650]

Cant tell you about anywhere else , but i can tell you that gloucestershire has some of the hardest digging ! Ive had guys come out with me who have dug all over and they all agree that you wouldnt want it any harder. You clear the topsoil,then a foot of clay,then you hit the limestone.You need a bar an excavator and a garden fork with the two outside tines ground off to loosen the ground. I dream about light soil where your shovel sinks in easy and and a bar is something gathering dust at the back of my shed.

Had a couple of mates come down to kent from south wales last year to pick a dog up so we popped out for a dig whilst they were down.Afterwards the said if they lived down here they would stick to the lurchers.It was only a 2 1/2 footer

Cheshire prob the easiest, worst prob some places in north and South Wales can be really hard, but on other hand some easy spots, but Kent and Gloucester mainly all hard digs.
