Just the loose dirt that came out when I augered the holes, Don.
Of course in Florida...our dirt IS sand!
I used a homemade watering device to get all the air out and wash the dirt in. Piece of 1/2" PVC pipe with a shutoff and hose thread connector at one end - to hook up the hose. Pipe is about 4' long. I use it to water in my landscape plantings.
Here's the adapter
(3/4" hose thread to 1/2' PVC):
And here's the
shutoff:
Mine has a 1/2' PVC elbow to the shutoff assemble to give me a little handle too but that's optional.
Auger hole....measure depth until right...drop in post...back fill loosely....use level to check vertical N-S and E-W.....then water in until soil is washed in all the way. let drain overnight. next day install fence panels.
And Robert is your dad's brother!
