I mean, 3rd replacement since December?

How much do you garden? How big are your beds and how often do you work them,
and move plants around and change things?

The veggie garden is maybe 20x30 feet, there's about, er, 6 flower beds
around the house & yard. The big work I do with a backhoe/loader, or one
of the little tractors. The rest is by hand, mostly with tools which are
older than I am.

I am constantly honing my garden with
transplanting and moving around. Making new beds. Running into major rockage.
If you are a weekend gardener, good tools may last a lifetime and not break a
lot, but I do not have that same experience.

I think we're coming at this from two different perspectives. For me,
the heavy work is done by hydraulics, so I think we're talking about
two very different situations here.
