| Has anyone improvised a method to manually cut sod?
I have some spots in the yard where a sod cutter won't work because of the steep hill and clearance problems with the cutter. Not big areas, each is 10 feet long at most by 1-2 feet wide. Yes, I can always use a shovel, but it's a struggle to maintain consistent depth. Ideas? |

| A sod lifter is sold at all the home stores. See link below for what it looks like. |
Here is a link that might be useful: Sod Lifter

| Any manual tool will be a struggle to maintain consistent depth. Just the nature of the beast(us). |

| Could you explain how the Sod Lifter is different from a shovel? I see that the handle is angled better, but how do you maintain consistent depth? |
