I am admitting defeat - I cannot dig an eighteen inch hole. I've been working on one for 2 days and I'm still not there. Husband is off doing his thing and I was determined to do this. Somewhere around 7/8 inches, I ran into solid clay - it might as well be sandstone. I'be been scraping it off 1/8 inch at a time. The deeper I get, the harder it is to get it out of the hole. By the time I get it to the top of the hole, I've maybe a teaspoon left on the spade. I'm asking, "Is there a secret that I'm not aware of?" Of course the mosquitoes don't help - I spend half my time swatting and scratching.
