Yes, you can dig a post hole with a standard shovel, but it's not the most efficient method. Using a regular shovel often results in wider holes than necessary, leading to increased backfill and potential instability for the post. Additionally, achieving the recommended depth of about 2 feet can be challenging with a standard shovel.
Select the Appropriate Shovel: Opt for a trenching shovel or a narrow-bladed shovel, as these are better suited for digging deep, narrow holes compared to standard flat-bladed shovels.
Mark the Hole Location: Use stakes or spray paint to outline the exact spot where each post will be placed, ensuring accurate spacing and alignment.
Break Ground: Position the shovel at the center of your marked spot. Apply pressure with your foot to penetrate the soil, creating the initial cut.
Create a Perimeter: Continue making vertical cuts around the circumference of the hole, forming a circle approximately 8 to 12 inches in diameter, depending on the post size.
Remove Soil: After defining the perimeter, angle the shovel inward to scoop out soil from the center. Repeat this process, working your way down evenly around the hole.
Maintain Hole Shape: Periodically check that the hole remains cylindrical with straight sides. Adjust your digging technique as needed to prevent the hole from widening unnecessarily.
Reach Desired Depth: For standard fence posts, aim for a depth of at least 2 feet to ensure stability.
Clear Loose Soil: Use the shovel to remove any loose soil at the bottom of the hole, creating a flat base for the post.
