Q: How do you use this auger to plant bulbs?
Chuck this garden auger into a regular power drill, then drill into the soil from a standing position to create a 3" diameter hole for bulbs, annuals or seedlings, no kneeling required.
EL310 - Garden Auger
Planting usually demands a good deal of kneeling and stooping. Used with a regular power drill, this auger bit (1/2" hex drive) lets you work in a standing position, reducing strain on the knees and back, while also saving time and effort.
Measuring 24" overall with a 6" auger, it drills easily even through harder soils, creating neat 3" diameter holes deep enough for planting bulbs, annuals or seedlings. It’s also an efficient way to till small patches of ground in the garden or in raised beds. Its one-piece construction of 5/8" thick carbon steel prevents the auger shaft from bending and minimizes wobbling.
