The most pleasant thing in a country house gardening business is certainly a harvest. The most unpleasant thing is a war with weeds and digging up a land plot. To help with weed control, chemicals and an ordinary chopper come. Digging things up is more complicated. Of course, you can borrow a cultivator from a neighbor, or you can make a high-speed shovel yourself with which you can halve the time to dig a garden.
Necessary materials
- Old bikerather steering wheel from him
- A pipe with a diameter of 22 mm from a stainless steel
- 2 mm thick stainless steel shovel
- Movable steel pin or conventional spring pin
Having made this shovel, you will forever forget about back pain after such a garden charge. It is worth noting immediately that it is not suitable for digging cereal crops or grass, since it turns the soil 180 degrees.
If you can’t find a shovel made of cold rolled steel, then you can very well use a miner. A high-speed shovel is made taking into account the growth of a person who will directly work with it. In order to facilitate your work, a formula is proposed
Using the formula, you can determine the height of the shovel from the steering wheel, which acts as a handle, to the cutting part that needs to be sharpened.

For clarity, a diagram is provided.
The assembly process itself is not complicated. The emphasis should be on several things:

- insert the pin into the pipe and lock it with a 2.11 M8 bolt. This pin is necessary so that you do not bend over and do not make huge efforts during turning the soil.
