Did some measuring a couple of days ago.....seemed to be "favorable" for fencing, but getting a better picture in my head of digging postholes in the sand.....

I saw Maisy do something similar yesterday but her "ball" was a half eaten rabbit.

Open post hole digger, shove into the ground, clamp, lift: sand all falls back into the holeDid some measuring a couple of days ago.....seemed to be "favorable" for fencing, but getting a better picture in my head of digging postholes in the sand.....
I bet it does work better when there has been rain so the sand can clump. At least we know it can be done since @B&B Happy goats "ancient ones" put in wooden posts.I bet you miss those farm fresh eggs, they will be nice!

One thing is for sure.....tamping for a snug fit....won't be much of a problem....no clay to "pound".....

I have two three dozen with your name on them, but if you have extra egg cartons that would be a big help

Or even a nice basket! I'm sure Fred and Joyce will carry them gently back home no matter the container.

Sure know "how" that goes.........we will bring what we have and will take ours back in a bowl with paper towels....we don't eat many eggs, but they do come in handy for quick meals or snacks....so, versatile....and we seem to go thru on/off use of them....but, certainly prefer the Fresh ones over store-bought....Hands down!!....

dig hole, drop in post, then fill 1/3 with water. Push sand in hole, tamp, push in more sand, tamp, tamp some more, fill hole with sand. If it is too dry, add a little water and tamp a LOT. the water helps set the post.
