I borrowed an auger to use in clay soil in West London; dead easy,
like drilling putty.

Suitably impressed, I borrowed it again to use in gravelly soil in
Essex; utter rubbish.

I got a long narrow spade, intended for digging cable trenches and
have used that since. I dislike Metposts since you have little control
over their direction and tilt once you've started driving them in. You
can always adjust a post in concrete a little. I've used Metposts set
in concrete.
