Digging footings

[ToolboxTalks]

A post hole auger will help, but it might not be ideal for continuous trenches since it makes round holes. You could use it to break up the clay first, then shovel out the rest. If space allows, a micro digger or even a narrow trenching spade could save effort too. And if the clay’s really hard, wet it down a bit the day before it softens up and makes digging easier.
