Garden Bed Test and Manual Tool Comparison

Roto shovel! Auger + shovel = garbage or garden miracle?
What happens here
Moving to a garden area with existing plants and softer soil, Stanley continues testing the Roto Shovel. He also uses a manual garden claw tool for comparison. He notes that even in relatively softer garden soil, the Roto Shovel still encounters resistance, particularly from roots and occasional small rocks, causing it to slow down or activate the anti-kickback feature. He observes that the manual tool seems to be more effective and less frustrating for such conditions, as it provides better leverage and feedback for maneuvering around obstacles. He hypothesizes that the safety shroud, which acts as the shovel part, might be causing the tool to bind rather than assist in digging.
Goal: Assess Roto Shovel performance in garden soil and compare it to a manual garden tool.
