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?

Is this a washing line pole or the pole for what I see is called a
"Rotary Airer" !



A proper washing line, so I too doubt thumping it in will work unless I hire
a crane to hang off, or a nellycopter. I like the idea of using a smaller
pointy piece of pole to make a hole in stages but I haven't got a piece and
it *will* get stuck, but for the sheer potential entertainment factor it has
to Bob's instruction on the hose pipe method. This will be tried first. You
can tell I have faith by the "first".

Dig a hole 3 foot deep and 3 foot wide, put pole in middle and put ready
mix concrete around it. Let the ground moisture make it go off. It would
be better if you could get an aluminium pole though.
