Probably did like the local old nursery owner does here. Every morning he
makes his crew take a file and sharpen the shovel to a knife like edge. By
the end of the season he figured you should have worn out the shovel. It
works.

Years ago (I was around 19-20 yrs old) I worked at a tree nursery; I did
mostly 'outside' work, planting for customers, etc.  One fine day my boss
and I were planting about a kazillion shrubs along someone's driveway---he
was young, but older than I---around 25.  He was a son of the owner, so he
had been doing this work all his life.  No matter how hard I tried, he could
out-dig me about 5 holes to 3---I never did figure out just how he did it,
but he sure did!  This has been a life-lesson for me; it does not matter how
simple or basic a job is, there is ALWAYS a better way to do it!1
