YOU MUST SUPPLY YOUR OWN DRILL TO POWER THIS GARDEN AUGER. This bulb auger fits 3/8'' drills and larger, and any corded drill will provide plenty of power for the garden auger. If using a cordless drill to power this garden auger, we recommend using Milwaukee or DeWalt brand.

IMPORTANT- please read

This auger will NOT work if your drill is in reverse. If your auger seems to spin on top of the ground and not dig in, check to see if your drill is in reverse.

Check closely when tightening up the drill chuck on the auger. Make sure to match the flats of the drill chuck to the flats on the auger shaft. If you chuck up on the round part of the shaft, the auger could slip or spin in the drill chuck.

Operate your drill in the lowest gear setting possible. Always wear safety glasses and use two hands when operating the drill. Do not pry with the auger. Keep it straight up and down when using it to drill in soil. Read more...

Twin Falls woman resurrects her garden after devastating fire

21.06.11

On June 9, a strong wind blew from the west, rustling leaves and swaying branches in Sharon Buckle’s yard on the edge of the Snake River Canyon outside Twin Falls. The wind was much like one last July that fueled the Auger Falls Fire, which climbed the canyon walls and destroyed the garden Buckle had worked on for 11 years.

Buckle, a Master Gardener and owner of Sunrise Landscape Design, was devastated by the loss, which spared her home but killed many of her plants. She briefly grieved then got to work, giving new life to a garden that had been reduced to ash.
