invention awards in London. You can also see it on my website at
'Home - easyvator.net' (Home - easyvator.net)



In the list of benefits you forgot:

- Destroys soil structure, makes it "like apple crumble" (why?)
- Munches earthworms (exterminate exterminate)
- So light it cannot deal with heavy soil, any soil where it works can be
hand dug.
- No chance of digging into utilities as it cannot dig deeper than 25cm
- Free xray when you rotavate your power cord
- What happens to the motor/gearbox when the blade stops in heavy soil or
on a tree root? Does it burn out? Does it give the operator a free
chiropractic back adjustment?

And the Grand Prize for Thick:

On ground level beds it is so short that it must be operated stooped unless
you are a child. And it is claimed to be suitable for people with bad
backs! The demonstrator groans and holds his back using a spade but smiles
and chatters when using this tool. You are disconnected from reality.

Thanks for your comments. The model viewed is the very first prototype. The model going to the shops is longer and adjustable. How do you know if the Easyvator has a slip clutch or not.
Thick maybe- you're the one who insists on caveman's tools
