Does this auger work in very sandy soil?

This auger worked very well when digging post holes on my property. The soil is all sand based as far as you can dig..........

Our soil is heavy clay and the auger works well. The way the auger is made, unless the soil holds together, it will run right out of the auger. I guess it would depend on how sandy the soil is.

It does go thru the sandy soil but it looses it as you pull it out of the hole. So sometimes you do not get a full load. Maybe if you wet it. It would stick together better.

Can't say for certain. I would think that if it clumps together much it would and do better than a traditional post hole digger. I find that works great

I live on the coast and have sandy soil. This auger works great, I'll never use post hole diggers again.

It should. If it's a damp sand it would work incredibly well. Much like digging any type of hole if there are a lot of egg-sized or larger rocks or big tree roots it can be difficult to dig a hole. This arm-powered auger will really make you wonder why you ever tried to dig a post-hole with a shovel or the double-shovel type post hole diggers that are out there. Sandy soil would be a breeze to dig a hole with using this adjustable auger. Hope this helps.

Yes. I used it in Super Soil, and it works great if you add a little more than recommended. Hope this helps!

You are going to have some problems with the weeds getting tangled in the tines. It does not break the weeds up fine enough (especially if you want to only do a pass or two over the area) if I understand what you are thinking of doing. Also, it depends on the soil type. If you have heavy/hard/clay soil this tiller will not dig in well unless you moisten well first. We have clay in our area and preparing the area to be tilled is key to success. I understand that some people add extra weight to the tiller and that should help with digging in. You DO need to use the sand ballast tank for most jobs and sometimes that weight is inadequate to the task. This is not a rototiller. It digs in 4-5 inches at the most. Hope this helps.

I've never used mine in sand.But have taken it on a farm with lots of dirt. it still does fine. I can't really answer your question

This works fine over a brick pathway, gravel driveway, and on cement and asphalt and even over dry dirt. Haven't used it on sand but for our California beaches, the best bet is fat balloon tires.

Yes, it works fine in rocky soil. I used it in my drive which has years of mixed dirt and gravel packed. The plastic spikes that came with it worked ok. Just have to be careful hammering them in and not try to pound them in with one or two hits. Short easy tapping worked with no bending of the spikes.

do not think auger would assist on your hill. I only use this tho on my 50 ft. deck. I have no hills I have to do. this snow blower is good. I feel it does what I want it to on the deck.

The auger is all part of the lower pole. You would have to saw the auger off but I would no recommend it.

I planted my bulbs in clay also in SC. I attached the bulb auger first to a portable drill but found that was not strong enough. Then I got out the extension cord and plugged in another drill and that worked fairly well if I used the auger first at an angle into the ground to cut through the grass roots. If I had a stronger plug in drill, that would have made the job even easier. But you need to be a little bit careful with a more powerful drill that you don't fracture the bulb auger. I never could have planted 250+ bulbs without the auger (being an elderly female).

Auger is 7 inches long. It will drill a nice hole about 6 inches. (need to be careful, it can drill itself into the ground) We use a cordless drill (Dewalt) Great product.

I don't think so. You need a strong auger to drill down into soil. Anyway, I'd think you would need a more powerful drill than 1/4 inch to use an auger.

Yes, but the umbrella will be short. The post for the umbrella is in 2 parts. The end with the auger has handles that aid in getting it set in the sand. The other end with the post and umbrella then snaps into it. So you could only use the umbrella end, but it will be very short.

my soil is sandy and it seems to grow well here. we had a dry summer and it did better than the grass did. I cannot say for sure but I would give it a try.

Yes, it works quite well at loosening the soil for seeding. That is one of the reasons I bought it.

What Grill? The Seymour AUA2 is a manual operated (armstrong) earth auger. If the question concerns how easily the auger is to clean, then the answer is relatively easily in light, dry soils, but in heavy, wet clays, it is somewhat harder. That being said, this type auger beats the scissor type post-hole digger, hands down!
