Product Details
The Tech Team Power Auger is great for making holes for potted plants, vegetables, bare root trees, mixing fertilizer, aerating compost heaps, digging holes for fence posts or umbrellas, and even making ice holes for ice fishing. Simply use a Power Drill, it will work well with any 3/8” or ½” power drill, electric drill, or rechargeable drills which work best. The Tech Team Power Auger is the professional landscaper’s choice. It also works well for mixing concrete.The Tech Team Power Auger gives the average gardener the ability to plant dozens, even hundreds, of plants with minimal effort because the power of the electric or cordless drill does all the work and creates neat smooth holes to the exact correct depth. Auger Holes Up To 9” Deep- The 9”x3” Auger gives the serious gardener the ability to make smooth clean 3” diameter holes up to 9” deep. Augers of this type work best in moist loamy soil, but it is still effective in tight clay, even rocky soil.
Tech Team’s 9-inch x 3-inch Power Auger is the ideal implement for making precise round holes to plant flower bulbs such as tulips, iris, crocus, and daffodil. It also works extremely well for planting seedlings such as tomatoes, peppers, eggplants, and cabbage not to mention onions. The fact that the auger burrows into even tight heavy clay soil, allows you to effectively dig up and/or cut off the roots of weeds such as milk weed, dandelion, wild onion, and raspberry.
You, of course, can use a 110 volt power drill to operate the auger, but in most garden situations, a typical cordless drill, particularly of the 18 volt variety that has a chuck that will fit a 3/8” drill bit is the perfect accessory for using the auger to make holes in the garden soil for the purpose of planting seedlings and bulbs. The auger operates best in moist loamy soil as it quickly and efficiently burrows into the earth and removes the soil.
Whether your intention is to plant 4-5 bulbs or seedlings or 400-500, this is the absolutely perfect accessory. In order to drill holes to a specific depth it is a good idea to use a piece of electrical tape on one of the vanes of the auger at the specific depth you want to drill, so that it becomes a gauge for drilling subsequent holes. You need to keep in mind, different kinds of bulbs require different depth holes. The rule of thumb generally is 3x’s the diameter of the bulb should be the maximum depth of the hole.
