just used my 2 man power auger with 12" auger in sand...i used it to put in 5x6 posts for my pole shed lean to...its nice to dig a bigger hole than you need...but for you i think 9" is fine...let me tell you my friend and i were pretty tired after every few holes..the rig is heavy to begin with and when you have to lift up the auger out of the hole, you are also lifting alot of dead weight (sand, etc...) i had to manually "clean out each hooole"...my soil is extremely sandy, so i know what your up against..one thing, make sure you drill the hole exactly where you want it., cause if you have to redrill close by a mistake hole it's gonna cave in on you..
