What got me looking for you was standing in my rather large garden 
looking at the place where I had the corn this past summer. I knew I had 
to get in there and dig out the corn stumps but I'd already been digging 
out the old tomato plants and peppers and my back was pretty much 
overdone for the day. I worked pretty hard down there for harvest and 
cleanup and didn't take enough time off to let my back recover.

I got some help from the folks at Farm Show; Jenn sent me a link to Jim 
Ruen's article that I remembered and the rest you know from your side. 
The tool arrived in good shape, and it wasn't but a couple of days 
before the rain cleared off for a bit and the sun came out and I went 
out to slay some corn stumps.

Wow! THIS was the tool I needed! I got through the rows of stumps in a 
jiffy. My back didn't hurt at all. So, I dug up the last of the season's 
chard plants. There was an area nearby filled with some rather tall 
weeds that I had been gradually pulling and digging out over the course 
of the summer. I'd gotten about a lot of the weeds out but kind of ran out 
of steam to get the last patch. Looked like about three days' work to 
me. I took a look at the ELT, checked in with my back to see how it was 
feeling, and went over and in about two hours I'd cleaned out the last 
of the weeds.

The ELT lets me "work smarter" and is a very effective tool for digging, tilling and 
weeding. I appreciate the ability to use it one-handed as well. My wife 
grabbed it to loosen up some soil in her garden, and she also says it's 
a fantastic help.

I am very happy with the ELT! It's given me a piece of my 
life back.
