Renewing the compost bins - creating the post holes
Post hole drill In at full depth Removing the loose soil
When the position of the new hole is decided, usually where an old wooden post was removed, a post hole drill is used to create the new hole for a replacement concrete post. As the drill penetrates the ground, it is likely to encounter stones or occasionally tree roots. The loosened soil is then removed by a post hole digging spade until the hole is down to the required 3ft depth, ready for the replacement concrete post to be inserted.
