- In this video Stuart Moore from Landscape Rescue wants to determine if a Power Planter earth auger can handle rocky Missouri soil. With the help of Integrity Landscaping and a heavy duty Power Planter earth auger they pound through tough, unforgiving dirt on a challenging landscaping job. After digging dozens of holes for 1 and 3 gallon potted plants in a matter of minutes the reality is clear: Power Planter makes landscaping jobs go faster, and easier. But don’t take our word for it. Watch the unsolicited review.
Stuart’s conclusion?
“This thing continues to impress me”
“It will change the tempo of your business”
“You will look like a superhero to your customers”

We're using the 7" HD auger with the Milwaukee Super Hawg 18V drill. With the large 12AH battery, the drill+auger tip the scale at about 25#, and it is a bit like wrestling a small bear to use. Not only do we have rocks like in this video, we also have a plethora of tree roots, as we are planting 3-10 gal potted plants in established woods, with large oaks, poplars and pine trees. We didn't know how the Milwaukee would perform, but the newly released Super Hawg had 2 key features that made it viable (aside from being our existing battery form factor..); 1) a low speed mode and 2) a clutch. Without a clutch, you would likely end up in the ER with a sprained or broken wrist, with the violent stalls when it hits large roots. The Milwaukee has a standard 1/2" Jacobs chuck, and you do have to re-tighten it periodically when working. We've probably planted 75 trees and shrubs so far, and it is holding up well. The auger is super well made, and equally tough. A great combination, that is so much faster and less exhausting than using pick and shovel, at least in these environs.
That looks like horticultural malpractice. A planting hole should not be deeper than the root mass and about three times wider. They aren’t fence posts.
Deeper and wider in this type of soil conditions allows for adding compost and other amendments so the plants actually have a chance of living and thriving. The video was done by a landscaper in Western Missouri who has no choice but to use a rock bar and pick axe prior to finding and using our augers. Labor cut by 50+%.
@@powerplanterinc.2967 I am in northwestern Arkansas, and have the exact same soil, actually a bit redder and rockier, if you can believe it. My husband also had to use a pick axe before we bought your wonderful tools. Thank you!
Thank you
Showed digging holes straight down and simply throwing plants into the holes
I agree too little of a hole will let the plants prosper
Problem is you must also buy a drill or piece of equipment to attach an auger of this size to. I have a smaller drill and auger and just keep digging until the hole is large enough for the gallon pot. Love the Missouri has more rocks than Wisconsin. Sending this video to my son who just moved to Missouri.
Yes the drill is expensive, I would say over kill for sure if you don't dig every day!
I'm a 59 year old female who digs most days between Spring and late Fall; the drill and 7 inch auger is one of my favorite things my husband has ever bought me! Right up there with the 3 ct diamond and a trip to Europe. Saves time and my back!
Have you seen the Makita auger drill meant for hole digging? The handle has a brace to your body and bigger grips.
I go through shovels like crazy here in Missouri at this point it would just be cheaper to buy one of these 🤣
@Landscape Rescue, Stuart Moore....any insight or thoughts for Mr. Santhuff?
We are just gardening homeowners but we live on the foothills of the Appalachians in Georgia and our soil is very similar to yours. My wife has been wanting to get a smaller setup like this for a long time now but I have always been skeptical that it will work on our very rocky soil but we recently just caved in and ordered one. It takes me 10 to 15 minutes to dig one hole for a quarter gallon pot and it's just not fun at all. We bought the most powerful 20v drill I could find (DeWALT DCD999) and the 3" auger with the thinking that it could be used to loosen up the soil when we have to dig holes bigger than the 3" diameter of the auger. We've still yet to try it out so hopefully the DCD999 is powerful enough with the 3" auger on rocky soil.
You will be golden! Follow the included directions with your auger and call Power Planter if you have questions! 217-379-2614
Recommend using a drill stand to save your back
No offense but in our formerly wooded area it's a packed shale/rocks/old tree roots which make digging anything with less than a backhoe with a 12 inch bucket really tough. This might work for maybe an 8 to 10 inch or so hole but nothing deeper. Found out over the years to soak the ground really well for a day or two and then hope for the best.. Obviously best when the ground thaws in the spring as well...
what are the 2 year fertilizer tablets ?
Missing you and your show!!! What happened to you ?? Hope your alright?!?! 😢
CJ - I talked with Stuart recently. He's been slammed at this 'real' job sadly. He is also missing doing these videos as well he said.
@@gregn5675 thanks for letting us know. He surely is missed by all!!
