Sandy soil and post hole digging questions

Posted by Cormac on November 09, 2005 at 02:37:30 from (207.200.116.199):

In a few weeks I plan to use my post hole digger for the first time. I have a couple of questions? I plan to use 2 7/8", 3 1/2". and 4 1/2" OD pipe. For 4.5" post is my 9" auger acceptable or should I also invest in a 12" auger? I will use concrete to secure. Another question arose when a neighbor recently had someone dig some post holes for him. I looked at them the next day and they were 3/4 of the way full with loose soil. As I type this I am recalling that there was very little soil on the perimeter of the hole, so could he have just left it in there to prevent the sides from caving in? In any event, please offer some guidance for a novice post hole digger on use and when dealing with sandy soil. Thanks
