Do you recommend a specific tool to assist in digging into the ground ?

we rented a gas powered cable burying machine at the local rental hardware store. It is a task to do and requires putting dirt back over the wire and buying and laying some additional top soil but once we got the hang of it, it worked well.

I used a lawn edger instead of the wire trencher. It doesn't leave as much area to cover back up, plus it's easy to operate and cheaper to rent. shovel or spade works fine too.

In your case a machete would be my tool of choice. The Kukri is a heavy to medium chopper better suited for small trees and heavy undergrowth.

May can, but generally, digging in the dirt does take a little power, especially the deeper you dig with these augers. 1/4 inch drills may not have enough power, other than to go down maybe 4 to 6 inches (might be able to go deeper if you frequently pull the auger out and get rid of dirt). I use a Dewalt 18V cordless, (1/2"), and it works like a charm.

we have used clay spades with ours. the hammer does well unless you get a bit that's over 4" wide. then you start to notice less force.

You can buy cheap attachments for an electric drill. I recommend that instead. MJ

I think it would work. It is sturdy and made to dig fox holes. But it isn't large. Looks like Gerber also makes a sturdy looking shovel, but it is expensive.

Yes but I would make sure to have a cover and keep a close eye in case they try to dig out- they can dig out in a matter of minutes!!

I use a three prong long handle device that I have for breaking down the soil in the garden. I find I wish I'd purchased a compost barrel that turned ,but I like the look of this one.

No. This has a kind of tripod stand that supports the umbrella. You do not have to dig into the ground like with some kinds of umbrellas but there is nothing to clamp this with unless you rigged something on your own.

Yes, you can bury in the ground with pvc for protection against frost movement of rocks and tree roots. pvc pipe is cheap. In the future you may plant something forgetting where the cable is and cut it with a shovel. As an electrican I never put any kind of cable in the ground without some lind of abrasion protection. It sure beats having to replace a whole cable because someone cut it years from now digging a hole for a bush.

No. It is kind of a weird/non standard shape and configuration. That means it will be difficult for you to find additional pieces or replace a broken one. The tool works well. I have had it for over a year and I don't use it weekly and when I do just to dig up hard soil with rocks...but it works great. It is so cheap, compared to others, that I just figured that if/when it breaks, I will just throw it away and buy another. The only down side is the configuration of the tools.

I don't know if the pipe idea would work to dig a hole that deep. I really like this auger hole digger and use it all the time to dig all sorts of holes. When I put in a garden gate, I scared myself when I dug a hole so deep I couldn't reach to the bottom with my arm. We have clay soil. The auger does not work well in any kind of rocky soil, even just a few small rocks. You have to stop and remove them. Luckily most of our top soil is relatively rock free.

No, not really. A hammer drill is the best for drilling into concrete. An impact driver is not designed for drilling into concrete. However, you could use it in a pinch as it would be better than a normal drill.

Yes, if you reach slowly and spread your feet a bit for stability. You could dig a shallow hole.

This product is designed to be used on pre-prepared soil, like that in a vegetable or flower garden. It is fabulous for that; I just love mine! However, if you are trying to 'break' new ground or ground that has not been previously prepared, buy an engine driven tiller. Always buy the tool that fits the job!

I would say if it is like pea gravel or some type of small rock it may be helpful, but I'm afraid it would pick up larger landscaping type rock. When I use them to pick up leaves they even get some dirt
