Default There was I, digging this 'ole...

No I wasn't; I'm lying.

But I do want an 'ole dug, for a washing line pole. A big, heavy,

iron
scaffold pole that wants going into the earth about two feet. What's

the
best way to dig a scaffold pole 'ole? I did read about someone using

water
from a hose pipe to dig a pole into the ground but it was lacking

detail.

Any suggestions? What about a scaffold pole-sized drill bit? Is that
feasible?

Well, a couple of weeks ago I thumped a two foot length of scaffold
pole into our orchard for the wifes washing spinner thing by simply
hitting it with a 14 lb sledge hammer. No issues and entirely
satisfactory.
