I tried to dig out all the big old shrubs and stumps in my backyard, got poison ivy, and spent two full days using the wrong shovel before a friend handed me a pick and changed my life. Which got me thinking: I can't be the first guy to stand in a hole and go, "there has to be a better way to do this."This week i deep dived moving dirt, we go down the rabbit hole on the history of digging — the giant canals that countries threw millions of lives at, the ancient engineers who somehow moved water across hundreds of miles at exactly the right slope, and the crazy ways people used to do it.
