Clear the hole a lot, meaning, lift the auger every foot of penetration or so (her soil was compact yet moist). You don't have to reverse the auger, just lift it at speed just below the top of the hole. (no more penthouse!)

again, i really enjoyed being the auger monkey off the tractor. Very satisfying work.
