Just ordered a gas hole digger!!
I mean business.
Just ordered myself one of these bad boys: Ardisam 9000E 1-Man 3hp Earth Auger http://www.ardisam.com/Earth/9000E.htm Found one on ebay for $399 with an 8" wide bit. Add about $40 insured and delivered, I'm a happy camper.

Re: Just ordered a gas hole digger!!
NOW I know who to call to help with the hedge I want to put in. LOTS of small holes to dig.

Re: Just ordered a gas hole digger!!
I guess I should point out that it was brand new at that price. Not some old, beaten up machine...
Anyway, you guys are funny. Get yer own HAHA I'll be busy with my new fence, and if not that, I'll be busy finally getting all my tiki torches in the ground. And if not that, I'll be digging holes for all those palms reaching out of their containers. And when I'm done with those, I'll be digging holes for banana pups. Maybe in a year or two it'll be ready to loan out Here's the link to the product at the company's store that I got mine from: Commanche Creek Keep yer grubby hands off! Here, think of this the next time your out there digging with your toothpicks: j/k you guys know I luv ya'll

If you hit a rock or root, it stops and you accelerate. E-ticket ride.

Re: Just ordered a gas hole digger!!
Hell, I didn't want to BORROW IT. I thought you would like the practice and would come up and dig the hedge for me
An neighbor of mine in Ft Myers had a gas powered shovel. Long sharpshooter type. It sure made root pruning palms a lot easier. Have fun. How are the babies? Did you get my PM on the Plumeria site? Terry |

just someone from the photo on their website @Terry - yes, I got your pm. Thanks for the link. Thought I replied.. but I might have been in a rush and forgot to when I returned. I have Plumeria STACKS in my backyard. Come and get some. They're still blooming just laying there drying on the ground though. They smell delicious, too! I can't wait for my auger!!

Re: Just ordered a gas hole digger!!
Dont feel so bad about it... it still hasn't arrived here.
Arbicola make nice hedges. Are yours a var? I also went ahead and ordered a 3" x 36" bit so I can blast through planting these plumeria branches. The bit it will arrive with is 8" wide, good for moving potted plants into the earth, but not so good for moderately thin branches. Tho I will use that one for some of the plumeria that involves the mother trunk. I can't wait to get my hands on it.
