Keeping busy...




This particular tool has been keeping me pretty busy lately...pretty good exercise too...I know an auger would be a whole lot quicker, but I like the personal touch you get by using old fashioned post hole diggers. Also an advantage of using this is that should you encounter something such as a pipe or such... you have a chance to avoid damaging it versus drilling through with an auger...oops...It could be disaster. Always find out if you have anything under your yard or garden before digging. Many communities now have much of their infrastructure such as cables and gas lines, water lines, sewer, etc...under ground and many times they don't run in what you might think is a common sense manner. I have yet to figure out their madness but I am sure there is a method to it. Anyhoo...my dogs will soon have a big playpen to call theirs...and it should keep them from visiting my neighbors inadvertently. :)
