Waz 4,204 Posted January 11, 2016 Report Share Posted January 11, 2016 (edited) Deepest we've dug is 6m, couple of 5's, and lots of 4's. couple of 3m in a day is plenty if we are out the next day also. Fair play superman. Wish I could do a few 3m digs a day and go back out the next day and do it again. Sound. i suppose its ok if theres a few of you. 3m takes a while on your own, especially in hard clay. 3 capable diggers is better than 10 who scratch. No talking in the hole..

the goat 642 Posted January 11, 2016 Report Share Posted January 11, 2016 Sow....I hope that wasn't in the UK ? yes 3 capable diggers...me and a mate aren't the best to use a spade but young and fit enough to get there every time no matter what the depth. And even with another one of us a few 3m digs a day would be pretty good going. Especially in hard clay. Quote Link to post
Mudcat 95 Posted January 11, 2016 Report Share Posted January 11, 2016 About 8' is the deepest we have ever dug over here. We did get a mark at 16' feet this past fall, but thankfully the armadillo bolted! It was in a deep underground spring complex. We had no idea it was that deep. Sota 1 Quote Link to post

beast 1,884 Posted January 12, 2016 Report Share Posted January 12, 2016 every now and then i think iwould lik a terrier to bolt for the runners, but i read a thread like this and the thought of digging 20 feet puts me right off the idea. its bad enough digging to ferrets! 1 Quote Link to post
young man 225 Posted January 13, 2016 Report Share Posted January 13, 2016 When digging deeper than say 5 foot. Is the hole better circle or square? Quote Link to post
darrendigger 19 Posted January 13, 2016 Report Share Posted January 13, 2016 When digging deeper than say 5 foot. Is the hole better circle or square? square mate then you can step it easier to get back out imo, but just make sure you start with a big enough hole or you will be fxxked when you get deeper ?
