Must get one of these, they look the dogs bollocks for digging out and would last me all of no time.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JehfEdmPHXM Stainless steel trowel with oak handle for me.
What's in everyone else's bucket or game bag? made my own probe with a t-shape spade shank from the iron mongers, drilled the bottom out and glued in a 5mm steel hex rod 2ft long.
Probe,clear and turn upside down to firm both sides of the run,2 tools in 1 if you like.
