    Garden Augers - FAST, Easy Planting!

    By Stacy 75 Comments

    The first time I used a garden auger was in the Fall. Because I had re-landscaped our front yard, I had to relocate all of our tulip bulbs. I was not looking forward to digging that many 6 inch deep holes, especially in the cold Autumn temperatures. I tried garden augers out and it changed my gardening life! It was so fast, fun, and easy! Plus I got to use a power tool, so it was a win-win.

    This post is sponsored by Power Planter but all opinions are 100% my own.

     

    Garden Augers

    Fast forward to this spring, and it was vegetable garden time. I knew I was going to utilize a garden auger for this as well. My 20 foot rows of peppers, tomatoes, onions, and other veggies were all done quickly thanks to the Power Planter augers!

     

     

    Power Planter augers are proudly hand-welded in the USA and are guaranteed to last. They are perfect for all gardeners. They would make a great gift too!

    They have many other sizes as well. You can check them out on their website :)

     

     

    I used the larger one for things like tomatoes and the smaller one for onion sets and other bulbs. It only took a couple of minutes to dig the whole row!

      Boy, I wish I had this auger! I just set out about 50 bedding plants along with squash, lots of green beans, lettuce, kale, and soon will be putting my tomato seedlings in the ground. What a great idea. I’ve been using a post hole digger.

      Wow, never thought of using my drill to plant bulbs - this would be great for caladiums, I love planting them around my yard, their leaves have such beautiful colors. I've broken a couple of small spades with trying to dig small holes. This looks more precise. Totally love this, thank you for introducing the idea.
