Special Post hole digger
 
I am trying to put in a fence around my house and garden. I am
looking for a certain type of MANUAL post hole digger to refine holes
I have already dug.

Instead of 2 blades which move toward each other, this digger has one
blade that stays still, and another that "scoops" the dirt up, like a
little shovel... It works great, and it is what the pros use....

Has anyone ever seen such a digger?
Any idea where I can get one? Thanks...

we got one that is just turned. it scoops/scrapes a lot of dirt and when lifted out
of the hole the dirt comes out with it nicely. Ingrid

I bought an "earthquake" post hole powerhead several weeks ago. I use it
to plant in clay soils that have dried out and baked. Works good and
build arms. If the soil is too hard, a starter hole with some water
works well in creating the bore. I also use it in beds to perforate down
30" and fill the colummn with compost and organic fertilizer. I do this
every 12" to 18".
