Groundhogs can impact soil by digging burrows, which can disrupt root systems and soil structure. This digging can also lead to erosion and changes in water flow patterns. Additionally, the deposition of their feces can add nutrients to the soil, altering its composition.

Cats enjoy digging in soil or sand because it satisfies their natural instincts to hunt, mark their territory, and keep their claws healthy and sharp.
To manually till soil effectively, use a shovel or garden fork to turn over the soil, breaking up clumps and removing weeds. Work in a systematic pattern, digging to a depth of about 8-12 inches. Avoid tilling when the soil is too wet or dry, as this can damage soil structure. Amend the soil with compost or other organic matter to improve fertility and structure.
The force of digging is a push force. As you push the shovel into the ground, you are exerting force on the soil to displace it and move it away from the hole you are digging.
