Ruth,

I'm going to rent the auger, so I don't know how powerful it is.  Its a
two man tool.  But, our soil even frozen would look pretty darn easy to
work with by comparison to yours.  We can't raise a decent crop of
rocks, no how.  Why we got folks importing rocks and paying good money
for them too!

Yup.  I was planning to fill them holes with posts.  Nice cedar 6X6's,
beveled tops, primed and painted white, two coats, just like the
existing non-conforming picket fence.  Nope, when I want to do
something just to pass the time, I go shovel snow off the pond.
