these are concrete posts by the way. they are 9 foot as i have 6 foot posts
and a gravel board - so i might end up putting just over 2 foot underground

the electric post borer is looking more attractive if it will save me a LOT
more time.

i am guessing tho it will just me me a nice snug hole straight down - will
the hole be wide enough or will i need to put a couple of heales near each
other to make it wide enough?
