"I also live in O.P. and would love to have an offsite garden.  I can't grow all I want in my limited space.  A community garden would be great, but the only one that exists that I know of is in North K.C.   "

garden auger

Posted on February 26, 2010 at 4:05pm 1 Comment

Has any one used a garden auger? The kind that attaches to an electric drill that has a 3/8" shaft.

I understand that they're used for planting bulbs. I was wodering if you could use them for weed removal

and aerating small areas. I would appreciate any comments and\or opinions.
