This dirt is terrible to dig. I've dug a fair number of holes, but I've never had dirt this clay-like. I'd slam the shovel point in, and it would just stop 0.5" into the thick stuff. It also stuck to the shovel like an adhesive, and large clumps had to be banged off the shovel after each scooping. It would have been a lot easier to dig this tiny trench in the loose, soily dirt of my old NJ home.
