Depends on your soil!

For sure.
Even with my sandy soil, and 20+ years younger musculature/stamina,
I couldn't do 10 in a row with some rest between.

Can't do any successful post hole digging, our home was built over a quarry area. As in you dig more than a few inches and you hear the loud screech of shovel on boulders. I mean boulders too heavy to lift out, - so just covered them back on. On the other hand our drainage is fantastic.

I got 16 (!) posts in! I have sandy soil, at least where I put these. I have some really heavy soil where I need to put some posts too.

Just call me Noodle Arms.

Good morning Cafe. Coffee is ready.
It's steamy and drizzling out.

Just call me Noodle Arms.

If you go on like this, we will soon have to call you Popeye!

Good afternoon everyone, and thanks for the much needed coffee @DobieLover

It is still stormy and raining outside, but we are nearing the end of the construction work on the new and exended aviary, fortunately. What a PITA to have to dig through the widespread root networks of an old bamboo! The only way to cut through the enormous rootstock was by using a hacksaw.

After more than a month of daily soaks and treatments, the toe of my La Fleche rooster is finally getting better, the infection gone and the swelling is down, only the tip of the toe is still open and out of shape, might even stay this way, but we will see.

Have a great Thursday everyone!

The only way to cut through the enormous rootstock was by using a hacksaw.

A Sawzall with a 12" wood blade might work.
I used one for splitting huge ornamental grass root balls.
Was kinda funny, my gardener friend suggested it....
"you know that big red saw thing that you and Keith used on the other project".
It worked great!
