This past weekend, began augering in railroad ties as fence posts. Didn't work so well. After a few inches below top soil, hit sand, lots of deep sand. Rialroad ties figure to be about 10" across diaganol corners, so used a 12" auger instead of a 9". Ties are going in 48", and once hit the sand, it caves in. 12" holes become shallow 20". I did use a hand post hole digger, and yeah it can be done the hardway, but got 56 more around the house, and another 350 around a small pasture - I aint lookin to do it the hardway. A neighbor told me to wet the sand, it'll hold better. That sounded good, but lost hydraulics before got a chance to give it a shot. By the time I fixed the leak and tended to a lot of other needed to "get done's", won't get back to the posts until next weak. Anyone got any sand secrets?
