Fence post auger

One of my clients has asked me to buy around 2500 daffodil bulbs to plant in one of their wildflower areas!! My back went into spasm as she told me.

Thinking laterally...have any of you used a powered auger to drill the holes....I know the ground is going to be a stony nightmare to dig by hand...and at say 6 bulbs per hole I will need to dig over 400 holes 😟😟. So looking for ways of making the process easier and quicker.

Thanks.

    I have used one in a SDS drill, very quick. I made all the holes and then did the bulbs and then made more holes as there were a lot more bulbs than I thought.

    I then raked holes over, in the spring they looked fantastic.

  • Yes we bought one to plant 3000 perennials and have used it numerous times since.

    Word of warning ! There are numerous ones available on the net mostly Chinese and are of dubious build quality and non existent warranty although the sellers say differently but they are not easy to return due to their bulk and weight. The Stihl ones are very expensive and we could not justify the cost, so we found a local Sealey dealer and bought the Sealey one, Sealey do not make anything and just badge their stuff, it was Chinese made and thanks to some foresiightof buying locally paid off as we had problems with the first and the second replacement and the third is ok but the choke does not work so we have to use easy start apart from that it is ok and for the cost which I think was around £200 has saved a lot hard work. So yes get one but buy from somewhere local that you can return it to and get a replacement easily !!
