Digging a fence panel post hole
In article ,
says...
Hi
I need to install 7 fence posts, I want to do them AS FAST AS POSSIBLE!
They are 9 foot posts
As I understand it I should aim to do a narrow hole as possible. But I have
also read I should stick some hardcore down there to help hold it in place -
doesn't this mean I should dig the holes a bit wider than the post itself?
or they just mean smaller rubble?
Anyhow, which tool will do it for me the quickest?

Thanks!
What ever you use to dig the hole do not concrete in the posts, they will
rot off at the top of the concrete in no time, a tanalised post with hard
core rammed down the sides will last far longer
