PerryMK member Registered: 01/18/02 Posts: 1393 Loc: Florida panhandle	The bucket of sand is partly because I have a bucket of sand and partly to have a consistent test to repeat with each trowel. I agree comfort is a good measure but not sure how to measure it. Maybe reverse the trowel and see if it still penetrates soil.
