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. | ||||
