Earth Augers: Buy a Bulb Planter or Garden Auger?

Drilling Holes with a Post Hole Auger

Drilling a deep hole in the ground is effortless with a ground auger for posts, also known as a post hole auger. This tool is the perfect garden equipment with many uses and features wide handles that allow you to apply force easily as you twist the auger. It’s user-friendly and essential when placing posts for a fence. Fence posts need to go deep into the ground—about one-third of their length—for a sturdy result. A post auger is also ideal when placing a support post for a young tree or drilling holes in the lawn (to fill with gravel for proper drainage).

How does a ground auger work, and what diameter do you need?

With Garden Select's earth augers, you can drill holes with diameters of 7, 5, 10, and 13 centimeters. For light soil types, you can choose a hand-operated auger made from galvanized steel from our wide range.

Planting bulbs or potatoes: making holes in the ground easily

Planting flower bulbs or potatoes is easy with a bulb planter or long bulb dibber. A bulb planter is a hand tool with a plastic handle you can press. First, you push the planter into the soil, then pull it out with the soil inside, place the bulb in the hole, and press the handle—the soil then falls back into the hole. This way, you don’t need a trowel.
