Have any of you ever gotten an auger attachment for your drill (it's for drilling holes in the ground to stick bulbs in). People have told me about it but I'm afraid it's going to mess up the drill. I don't have bulbs to plant that often but it sure would be nice to make it easy and quick -- which is what this auger is suppose to do.
But worse, would be to go grab the drill later and it's messed up because of dirt or something.
Whatcha think?

Unless you stick it in a pool of water, you drill should survive some hole digging. Don't know of dirt augers for a drill, but nothing would suprise me. Think of the lil' ol' paint mixer drill attachment. The auger would probably be about the same. Some type of screw design.
When you are done, just clean off the drill before you put it away! | | | | | Joined: Apr 2004 Posts: 5,072 Authorized Pest | | Authorized Pest Joined: Apr 2004 Posts: 5,072 | Well, I've Googled it and can't seem to find one to show you. But I'll keep looking.

Don't worry too much about the drill; they can take a lot of abuse. | | | | | Joined: Feb 2006 Posts: 1 Junior Member | | Junior Member Joined: Feb 2006 Posts: 1 | Do a Google search "bulb auger" Should take you to Ebay where there are different kinds. One of these in a good cordless drill will do a lot of holes and the drill will be fine.

That did it. (Golly, they make a "Post Hole Auger" !!)
I didn't realize it was so long. I suppose that'll keep most of the dirt away from the drill.
We need something for deep root fertilization, too. So, this might be the ticket.
I don't do eBay (although there were some on there). I'll have to wait from John to get home to try that.
Cletis -- we have THE AUGER on the tractor. Most of the neighbors use it for post-holes. I think we've used it once or twice. But it was a big job -- fencing at a friend's farm. A LOT of fencing.
Neat. Thanks guys.

Seems like i got it out of some seed catalog. Didnt cost much and I use it with my battery drill. Works pretty slick. | | | | | Joined: Apr 2004 Posts: 5,072 Authorized Pest | | Authorized Pest Joined: Apr 2004 Posts: 5,072 | I took the little gal that helps me to the library yesterday and told her about the auger. So, we'll be ready for next year when we thin out all those day lillies and daffodils. Jeff, you should change your listing (I got your email btw). "It gave it's life so others may live."  Peg

But I haven't forgotten. AAMOF, I was telling someone about their existence over the weekend. She's gonna get one (probably before I get a roundtoit).
Since summer starts tomorrow, I guess our spring work will be done today!
