## Questions & Answers

**Q: Waht is the length of the blade?**
A: The overall length of the shovel is 48 inches.   The blade is 16 1/2 inches long and 6 1/2 inches wide   It tapers down to 2 1/2 inches.   The end is rounded, although it didn't seem to effect my digging in any way.  The instructions clearly state the shovel is not to be used for prying.

**Q: How many inches deep does it cut for a plug?**
A: Do you mean for a plug of grass? I do not have grass, but I find it very helpful for transplanting flowers and trees from pots into the soil. It goes at least 6-8" deep. You don't apply leverage, but you can switch to a regular shovel or get on the ground and use a spade.

**Q: does this shovel work for cutting plugs as well as cutting through roots?**
A: Yes, the surface area of the shovel is 16.25".  I have used this on my yard and it is very handy.

**Q: Will this work to dig out a flower bed in a sandy plot?**
A: You can't go wrong for this multifunction tool.  It's made well. I would recommend once the flower bed was broken up to use a conventional shovel for capacity shoveling.
