Muddling towards a more permanent agriculture. Not after a guru or a religion, just a functional garden.
Clamshell and digging bar are irritating, but beat taking a ride on the auger express (followed by haveing to use a shovel to get the auger back, and a clamshell and digging bar to finish the hole anyway, if it's even possible in that spot without a backhoe to get the big rocks out.) A rock-cutting diamond auger might work here, but having the well driller come to plant post holes is an expensive proposition.

We would love to try one of those on our soil as we half dug a root cellar with a bulb (3")bit for a drill and used a hammer drill to power it. Granted we're now filling up said root cellar as it's collecting an obscene amount of water, and not from rain.

Refer to other thread on digging a pond: location, location, location. Sorry don't have the url for that thread handy.
Is there any way you can locate your pond where you planned the root cellar?
