What happens here

After the initial drilling by the auger, some loose soil and debris may remain at the bottom or cling to the sides of the hole. Use a sturdy shovel to manually clear out this loose material, shaping the bottom of the hole and ensuring it is clean and ready for planting. This step is often performed concurrently or immediately after the auger has completed its work on a particular hole, as seen in the video where one person shovels while the auger drills another hole.

Goal: Ensure each hole is clean and properly shaped for planting
