I've bee digging holes for fence posts.
Fecking hard,hot work for an amateur, though I'm sure I'm doing it right.
Just hate when you're almost deep enough - then hit a brick.
You using post hole diggers? Can't remember the spelling, shivolas (that's probably a million miles off the spelling ) used to use them on the railways for digging makes life much easier, but still not straightforward in this heat.
