Will an autospade dig up potatoes?
« on: March 02, 2013, 09:25 »
Hi, my husband has ordered me a backsaver  autospade for my anniversary present (I suffer with a bad back).  Primarily it will be used to dig my allotment plot, but was wondering if it could be used to dig up two short rows of potatoes that are still in the ground from last year.
