    New England rocky soil: 3  ~///~  Auger: 1 (with help)
  

*by M***. on Reviewed in the United States on December 3, 2013*

I live in central New England where we are blessed with soil that seems to produce rocks and stones as if they were mushrooms.  Early New England farmers would clear their fields of rocks only to have more appear the next spring (frost heaves bring up the endless supply of rocks and stones left by the glaciers).  Nevertheless, I was hopeful.  As suggested, I waited until we had a heavy rain to help "loosen" the soil.  I used a 3/8" corded drill with a keyed chuck.  I didn't see a flat side on the auger rod but nevertheless, the drill held the auger despite the assault and battle we went through together.  I tried in 3 different places in my yard - I was barely able to make a 1 inch starter hole before hitting a rock.  Once the point hits a rock, it's not going anywhere.  I tried turning it at a slight angle as it shows in one of the photos but that really didn't help.  The auger put up a valiant fight but we just weren't getting anywhere.  I admitted defeat and hauled out my Mantis rototiller and tilled an area that I had used last summer for a small veggie patch.  With the ground broken up, the auger was able to advance and I was able to make 30 holes for tulip bulbs in a matter of minutes. I also used the auger to mix my neglected compost barrel.  When the auger got tangled in some dried tomato vines, I was able to put the drill into reverse and back out, so to speak. Although it couldn't perform the miracle of cutting through rocks like a hot knife through butter that I was hoping for, I was pleased with its eventual performance. It also proved to be well-made:  the rod never bent and the spiral blade is welded on strongly.  The only improvement I can think of would be if they added markings to the blade indicating inches so you would know how deep you've gone.

    Simply could not garden without this!
  

*by A***R on Reviewed in the United States on April 6, 2020*

We had bought several more cheaply made bulb augers, which worked poorly from the start, then quickly tore apart when they hit rocks in the rocky soil of our mountain cabin. Then I found THIS auger!  It works fantastically well with my Milwaukee 1/2" drill, pulverizing lumpy soil into fine planting dirt as it goes. I have hit many rocks in the months I have had these, and it either breaks the rock, kicking rock chunks to the surface, throws out the entire rock from the hole, or jams against it.... WATCH OUT if you have a very powerful drill like my 1/2" Milwaukee, or it could easily break a wrist!  BUT... it never breaks! Just keeps on digging!  I even use it now to dig holes for larger plants such as 3 or even 5 gallon size potted plants. Just make several adjacent holes, and angle each outward as you do it, connecting all into one larger hole.  I bought two, thinking the first would quickly break as all the others had done, but I have never even had to touch my spare.  I HIGHLY recommend this auger!

    This thing really works and it can be driven by a battery powered drill for a long time.
  

*by A***R on Reviewed in the United States on November 29, 2021*

I was somewhat skeptical at first but I have to say this thing works well.  I used it to mix 8 big compost bins (4' diameter, 3' high and packed with leaves, grass, wood chips, veggie trimmings, coffee grinds .....).  I changed the battery after 4 of these bins but the drill was not really dead yet.  I just wanted a fresh battery for the remaining 4 bins.  I also tried drilling a 2 foot hole in my garden.  No problem.  Totally satisfied.
