How to Set a Fence Post in Concrete | Dig a Post Hole with Pressure Washer

Using a pressure washer to dig fence post holes in clay or hard-packed soil is a legitimate technique that saves hours of manual digging — here's how to do it without making a muddy mess. 📋 Free Home Maintenance Checklist → https://the-struggle-bus.beehiiv.com The pressure washer method: attach a soil lance (a long, narrow nozzle) to the pressure washer wand, and direct the stream downward into the soil to wash out a column of earth.
