Default Re: has anyone ever used an air spade?

Hey guys,
my previous company used 3 airspades with success. We used a portable tent when airspading and blew the dirt into trays to get ride of it. The airspade is designed to not damage the major root system and blows the dirt away from roots even very small tracer roots. Another suggestion is the aplication of a grow-gun when is effectively used to lift the soil through the application of water an compressed air through a probe. This could be a good sugggestion instead of airspading and removing the soil.
