    How to Keep Dig Bucket Clear

    no not even. That stuff is evil. I dug some test pits for the engineer at our new place. It has a pretty good jag of clay in it and the 18" needed a little cleaning.

    How to Keep Dig Bucket Clear

    You must use the 18"? I know you have a wider dig bucket. The trick is to get it clean, and then don't try to dig heaping buckets.
