Manually Digging Post Holes

What happens here

Begin by manually digging holes for the fence posts using post hole diggers. This step is highlighted as physically demanding, especially in hard, rocky ground. For very stubborn sections, a crowbar can be used to loosen rocks or break up compacted soil before using the diggers to remove the debris. This initial phase can be slow and labor-intensive, demonstrating the difficulty when power tools are limited.

Goal: Excavate initial post holes using manual tools.
