The choice of rock music while Laura showed the different augers had me cracking up 😂
🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🕯🕯🕯🕯🕯
Same 😂 in the best way possible tho
Yes. I went "whoa!". When I got to the 11:24 mark, I thought that her video editor must have had some espresso while pulling that those segments together, LOL.
Yes! Laura🤘you rock!!
Laura, your awareness of simple things like clearing back the dirt so people can see the edge of the hole is awesome.
You never “um” or “err”, you speak fluidly and confidently, and then with Aaron’s camera and editing skills, your videos literally put many TV gardening shows to shame. I’m forever thankful of your skills, and knowledge, and that you are willing to share your unfolding garden with us!
Ken is also their editor
Well said!
@@luckycharm5589 and a great job he does!!
So true!!
Hi Claudia plantak you can always appreciate without insulting other gardening shows
You've gotta start including who does the editing. This one was epic. Still waiting on a "Power Stance" shirt to come out. Lol
I would buy that shirt and I totally agree, power planter and DeWalt should try to partner with them, that was like an epic commercial/tutorial!
Do you even know what epic means 🤦
@@nashnash7997 No point in being rude.
Urban Dictionary says Epic means classic “cool” I think that is the intent. ;)
Ken does their editing. He's been mentioned numerous times
I felt like I was at a concert! The music and graphics get better and better. You are always so informative and explain things perfectly and yes, visual learner here. Thank you do much to all of you for what you do and HOW you deliver it every day. We truly appreciate you 👏😊
I got out my lighter! (Lol if you "get" that we're over a certain age!)
@@sherilynkoss4546 yes 🤣🤣🤣
At 74 I have a hard time holding a drill. Sigh... It is so frustrating. Laura is right, go with DeWalt drills! Hubby bought one from somewhere that stopped working while I was hanging curtain rods! I went and bought a Dewalt Just to finish my project! At first, he was mad that I spent $$$, however, he quickly realized it was the better tool. LOL Now I doubt I could use that auger; I am reduced to a small trowl. Aging is not fun!
How excited Aaron must have been to use “rock” music and slow-mo for the example hole portion. Lol!! Rock on, Aaron! 🤘🏻
Haha I was just going to say the same thing :-)
Rock on, Aaron!!!
Makes ya'll wanna Rock those Augers!!
The music and graphics for the augers was priceless! LOL Thank you, as always, for great information :)
I’m digging the rock music! Laura needs to enter carrying the auger in slow mo, hair blowing back and wearing sunglasses! 😄 on a more serious note, I bought an auger recommended by the bulb company I ordered from. 3 holes in it bent and was useless after that. It didn’t even hit a rock! It was just hard soil. Thanks for these recommendations!
Good morning coffee crew! ☕️ Hope y’all have an amazing day! 🍁🍂🍃
You too! :)
Due to sticker shock for some augers, I ended up buying a "cheaper" auger off a popular online store and wow it sure was CHEAPER. Tried using it to plant my bulbs...DUD! So, for everyone considering buying an auger, treat yourself to solid steel one, I know they are quite pricey but it is a good investment for all those holes in the future!
Same here. I bought a cheap one at store ny the bulbs just like Laura mentions qnd it bent and not worth buying to begin with.
Thank you for sharing this; this is exactly where I’m at … been staring at the screen on likely that same online site for so long and was still unsure what to do! Between Laura’s explanations and your recommendation I am certain now just what I need to have to get started, for both the auger/tips as well as the correct size drill!! On my way to fill my cart now. Thanks so much. 🤩🇨🇦
@@missbiggs9437 glad to help out a fellow Canadian!! 🇨🇦
Check out your local estate sales! I'm always finding older yard tools that are super well made, and just a little well loved haha
Usually just needs a little cleaning and good to go!
I use a shovel as it works just as well to dig a hole
Excellent editing with the graphics and guitar riffs during the demonstration!
Gets you in the mood to rock some power tools! 🤘🤘
Probably the best video I’ve ever seen explaining the types of augers and drills. Thank you so much!
Laura “Don’t be me.” Lol. We all want to be like you! PS. Aaron great graphics and music!
i know right!!! :)
Good morning Laura 💕
Greetings from Windermere, Florida zone 9b 🇺🇸
Happy Gardening Garden Answer Friends 🌿💚🌿
Can’t tell you how much your knowledge about power planters, and planting in general, has helped me putting in brand new garden beds. Game changer! I so look forward to every video you guys put out.
Holy crap the editing on this was so good!
The visual learner that I am has been watching you use these super machines wandering where I can find them🙄 I guess I won‘t be buying shoes and handbags the next time we travel to the US because my suite cases will be filed with the bigger sizes of these augers and the matching drills🤔 Love the drilling music😂
Hahaha 🤪 don’t wait to travel for who knows how long from now that’ll be … order online and get them now - you’ll have suitcase space for your shoes and purses!! 🤩🤩
@@missbiggs9437 They sadly only ship to the lower 48 States.
@@willowingchintz thanks for the update; I did not realize. Lost opportunities on their part all the same … bummer!
We have started getting power planter in uk but they only offer 2 size options at the minute
@@willowingchintz Update - They will, apparently, ship internationally to a limited number of countries, including Canada, Belgium and The Netherlands. I haven’t explored their website in detail yet.
I just received my power planter starter kit. They had the best price on the drill. I ordered several hundred bulbs and my normal drill had a hard time with the auger I bought from a box store. I can’t wait to try out my new power planter. Thanks for introducing me to Colorblends and power planter,
Do you have a link to the starter kit? Sounds like just what I need. Thx!
I didn’t even know you could get it as a kit let alone a starter kit - wow!
Laura, I absolutely love my Power Planter augers. I have two sizes, a 3" in the 12" length, and a 4" in the 24" length. These augers are heavy-duty and extremely well made. You are the one who introduced me to Power Planter augers in the first place, and I'm so glad that you did. Planting bulbs has never been easier. I'm short, 5' 1" and I'm trying to decide if I'm strong enough to handle a bigger drill, maybe the concrete mixing one. The Dewalt Hammer Drill is the one I'm currently using with the smaller augers, and it works for me. Have a great weekend! ~Margie
Thanks so much for that info! I’m only 4’ 9” and was thinking which drill would work for me for the most popular smaller to medium sizes! For the bigger ones, it’s my hubby helping out or else I’ll look quite funny trying to hop on a the shovel like it was a pogo stick which takes me 2 to 3 times longer than my hubby! 😆
The auger cut outs and the heavy metal music- straight awesomeness! 😂😂😂 I felt like I was at a trade show. All we need was some pyrotechnics! Great explanations on the auger sizes and uses. Much needed. Thanks!
Pyro yea! haha. :)
Thank goodness for power tools to make gardening so much easier!
I just finished watching all the playlists this awesome page has accomplished year after year! Thank you so much for all your amazing work. I only live in an apartment but you’ve inspired me to have so many beautiful plant plans for my future home! ❤️
Omg! Whomever is editing lately is amazing! I thought for a second I was watching HGTV! Great info. Totally want the augur tool, would help so much. Thanks Laura and Aaron (and crew) for always showing us the details
I thought I was watching NFL Sunday football, or a Gillette blade commercial when those infographics and the rock music came on, LOL.
I just told hubby a few days ago that an auger was on my list…this vid was awesome and perfect timing! Thanks! We love watching you down here in Houston! 😍
Right here with you! I definitely have that on my list too! 👍🏻
Good morning, Laura ☕️ And the Power Planters will be sold out in 3,2,1…
Great graphics, Aaron. Super helpful.
Have a Blessed Day 😊🐈
My husband happened to be sitting in the room while I was watching this video and said I should recommend to you Rigid drills/batteries as they have a lifetime warranty. He uses them for work all day long (construction field) and burns out motors or the batteries stop charging etc and they are great about either fixing them or (if it can't be fixed) replacing them. I can't tell you how many new tools he's gotten! Just passing the info on!
Yes, as long as you register the tools and/or batteries when you buy them. I used to do the service paperwork on them at the THD service desk.
I haven’t even watched the video yet, but I can tell you I will LOVE it. I bought a dewalt drill and a 3” auger for smaller flowers. I’m now getting the longer one. I will refrain from the larger auger - for now. These tools are incredible! Where have they been my whole gardening life?!!
Raise your hand if you have been watching Laua so long you can remember when she used a shovel for planting. 👋 Love how far you've come and all the wealth of tips and tricks you've shared through the years!
Laura I love watching your videos, I am an avid gardener , new to Oregon and loving what the Garden State has to offer. Thank you
Does anyone else want to run out and buy 3 acres of garden space so they can use all of these augers? For so many it would be a dream come true but not realistic for some of us “older” gardeners! Thank you for letting us live our garden 🪴 dreams through you and your family!
Thank you Laura and Aaron for this Video, much appreciated! After seeing your 1st Video on these a while back, I purchased the Professional Auger Starter Pack 3 inch by 24 inch Extended and 5 inch by 28 inch Quart Pot Plant Auger. Have drilled thousands of holes on our 1 Arce Property. Power Planter has the best Augers I have ever purchased!! Really like the comparisons it really helps, enjoyed the in depth explainations. Wonderful Graphics and Music!!! You have inspired and guided me with all my plating, thank you!!! God Bless.
So good! I went out of my way to order two Power Planter augers akd made them come to France, I cannot wait, bulb planting will be far easier
My first thought on your comment was, “great, she’s getting them in France” then “how do they run on French electricity…oh, yeah, cordless.” The question I couldn’t answer is, do you have to have converters for the batteries when you recharge them?
Love seeing vids go live! Have a Great day everyone!
good moring🙌🏻🍁🍂🎃
I was asking for an auger for Christmas so this was sooooo helpful I didn’t know where to start! Thank you sooooo much ❤️🌸🌺❤️
A super big thank you for this video! It gave me the confidence to order my first auger (just now), which I've been wanting to do for quite a while. I can't wait to get it in so I can start planting my bulbs!
Same here … isn’t it fantastic finally having a clue just what to get? Yes, a super big thanks.
The music and editing on this video is hysterical! I'm waiting for speech bubbles with things like KA-POW! and BAM! 🤣
Thank you again! Augers changed my life in the garden! After knee replacement surgeries the shovel was not my friend. With a drill & an auger you dig your hole, plant your plant & move on to your next plant. Easy peazy!🌺🌸🌻
Important to note, I discovered that some augers have a hex end shape and fit a hex drill opening. Other drills like mine are chuck drills and the hex end augers do not stay attached. For my drills I need augers that are round and not hex on the part that fits into the drill. Thought I would mention this since I struggled with my hex auger not staying attached to my drill without understanding the issue. I love your videos; you break down confusing topics making them understandable and I greatly appreciate how you visually demonstrate your points. Thank you!
Hey just wanted to say that the editing for this video is soo awesome ✨ totally highlights all the tools 😀
I don’t need augers in my sand….but boy, these will definitely come in handy when I garden my moms yard. She has hard red clay and can’t garden like she used to. I’m 3 hours away from her, but I go up every weekend to do the gardening and harder chores for her. These will help me get so much more done in the short amount of time I have there each week. Thank you!!
I just adore daughters/sons who help out their parents! Stay blessed.
Watching this video this morning when I hear a tapping on the window. It was a group of gophers from my back yard. "Turn it up!" They said, in unison. I'll be keeping a close eye on my Amazon account. 🐿️🐿️🐿️
Power Planter and DeWalt, you won't find a better "commercial" that reaches more gardeners than this. Partner up! ~ Lisa 🌷🌻🌹🌸💐🌲🌳🌱🌿🍁
As always, a perfectly timed video! I suggested to my husband a power planter auger for my birthday (October 3rd), and he said he didn’t think it would work in our rocky, clay soil! Well now we know! Loved learning more about the sizes, and what size would work for what size plants! You guys are getting better and better all the time with content, editing and the music!! Rock on!! Lol!! 🎸🎵🤘🏻
Tips ... Didn't read all the comments so maybe these have been said...
For planting with an auger.... I like to set my drill on the lower setting used for putting in screws, instead of the higher setting used for drilling wood or metals, etc. The lower/screw setting also can have a racheting adjustment that stops the blade rotation if it catches on something like a big rock/root. This can save your wrists from a harsh jolt.
I find there is usually no need to put any significant pressure down when digging with the auger. The blades tend to pull the auger into the ground and you really only need to guide it while drilling holes.
And... Don't rush. It's tempting to try to go faster and faster as you plant a lot with an auger. But a measured pace is best and is still way faster than other methods of planting.
With two helpers and one 2" x 24" auger I planted about 600 perennial plugs in a rocky hillside this spring in under 3 hours. One person placed plants per the design, one drilling holes, the third put in the plant. Not a speed record, but an easy pace to work at and no struggle overall.
Happy planting
The auger comparison was great.😂 I really appreciated Laura placing the plants in the holes towards the in (visual learner).
Thank you so much Laura and Aaron for making this video! Was unsure what to order so I've put it off all summer but because of this video it helped me know exactly what I needed. Also, I would've known about the power tip and the adapter without this video. Can't thank you enough you guys rock! ❤ from TN
I started using augers after I saw you using them ! Really saves time and easy . Thank you Laura .
Warm greetings to you all from an Irish guy currently on vacation in beautiful Italy… surrounded by so much to see and do … but a must even on vacation is to tune in to see Laura and family …
It’s simply not a good day without it !
Love each video
Best wishes to you all
Super helpful video! Thank you Laura! The plant visual in the holes was key for me so thank you for adding that. I’m also a visual learner so taking the time to add that is why I love watching your channel. 🌱🌸🌻
Amazing how your timing was right on for me!!! I have been planting tulips and some fall planting (with a shovel!) and was just thinking about how I wish I knew more about planting augers. You are such a blessing Laura!!!! And Aaron 😀❤️
Yes! I love that you did this video! We have been using augers for awhile and I thought i was the only one! I definitely need to upgrade to a drill one though. I only have the commercial one with a couple size. So worth it to fight rocks😁
I have followed your lead & now I use an auger for all my planting! Using the auger makes planting so much easier! I love this video especially the it is edited for the final video! 😃🍁🍂👍🌿
Your honesty about what works and what doesn’t is so refreshing. It makes me feel like I really will get my money’s worth rather than feeling like I got duped!
Thank you so much for taking the time to help us learn what is going to be best for us to use. Love the music Aaron, very energizing 😁
Oh man, this was the BEST video-thank you! Yep, I’m one of the ones that has been asking questions - i told my husband this spring that not doing another spring planting without one! Thanks for the SO helpful detail and demos!! You guys are the bestl
This video is informative, educational and a fun filled rock on orchestra of augers with Laura and Aaron at their best! Your videos are the BEST!
Can't thank you enough for all the helpful tool videos you have done - the auger, the quick connects and the Hoselink are my most valuable tools - things I would have never known about if it hadn't been for your videos ... thanks, once again, for helping to make our gardening chores much easier ...
Garden smarter not harder so this video is definitely beneficial with fall planting and the upcoming bulb season, thanks. 😊
I’ve been your subscriber for years and how much I adore you and Aaron for all that you do here. Amazing as always, very informative. I am a passionate gardener and this channel literally pumped me to start my own humble beginning. Thank you!
Soo helpful Laura! Once again something I’m investigating.
Always so helpful
Awesome information. Thank you for the visual on pot size to auger size. That was really helpful. Enjoying watching the older videos. Great information.
Wonderful auger overview, Laura! I live in the shadow of Mount Lassen (ancient Mount Yana) Butte County, California where our heavy clay soil has huge, bowling ball sized rocks, so my best tool is a pick ax. So happy I found your channel a few months ago - I’ve been living vicariously through your videos all summer and dreaming of cooler, less smokey, fall weather when perhaps I can manage some planters and dream big for my 12 acres. Really enjoying traveling though your archives - excellent work! Thanks so much for sharing your passion and experiences.
This is perfect because it was on my research to-do list for the day. What timing! This was WONDERFUL!!!
Got my first Power Planter auger last year and have never looked back. Best garden hack ever🎉
Perfect timing for me to watch this video! I have been looking to buy and had no idea where to start. Thanks to you, I now know!
Love this video. Watch and rewatch multiple Tim’s. Thank you
A big thanks for this being explained in depth…..I have been trying to pieces this function together and been confused because of all the different product offers out there….Thanks Laura…bravo👍🌸🥰
Wow! I have been wishing for this video. So much info packed into 15 minutes. Since the auger/drill setup can be pricey, I was lost in what I should get. Thank you so much, Laura and Aaron. Fantastic video once again. God bless.
I appreciate the tools-specific videos. They are after all an important part of gardening.
Love the transition to drilling!!! Perfect music and editing!!!!
I instantly started smiling when the rock music came on when you detail featured each auger 😁 Great choice
I'm so glad that you posted this video!!! I saw you using one of these gadgets the other day and was curious about what it was. This information will help me greatly as I plan an implementation my new home gardens.
Thanks for sharing
! I’ve been baffled on which ones to use and this tutorial answers all my questions!
Just received my first power planter auger and drill set! Ordered it after seeing you use one all the time!
Thank you Laura , this video was so helpful since I was planning to buy 1-2 augers and had no idea where to start !
This is such a great video! I am always learning from you and this one is very timely as I will be planting my first-ever bulbs... and I've ordered a bunch! I was debating whether to purchase a cheaper auger online or go with the real deal with PowerPlanter. Definitely will go with the latter! ...and I agree with the others, the choice of music and editing (stopping the animation with models and sizes written up on the screen) were perfectly done! BRAVO!
Excellent information and will definitely be using this video as a reference for purchasing an auger and drill. Thank you Laura and Aaron…super job!!!
Thank you for this video , I didnt know of the rocking back and forth to make hole bigger ..see this is why we love you doing these videos cause I learn something everytime..thank you
Thanks for posting this video! It was so helpful. I actually just bought my first power planter, but I was really unsure if I was choosing the right size and length. Like you, I learn visually. This video came at the perfect time, and now I understand the sizes, uses, and drill requirements! Thank you!
Thank you for this informative video. This has been my question for months. Love your channel. Thank You Laura and Aaron!!
This was so good all around! Thank you all.
These tools would definitely come in handy. We've only used shovels.
Laura! That was so helpful! Augers have always been a mystery to me, so I have only used the 3-inch one, but I might like to try a bigger one after viewing your excellent video!
Thanks for the visual at the end with the plants - very helpful!
Perfect time! Literally was shopping this weekend for one and couldn't figure out what to buy! THANK YOU!
This was perfect! I asked for a bulb auger and a Hoselink for my birthday. Got the Hoselink, now need to get the auger and wasn’t sure where to start! Now I know! Thanks Laura!
YES!!!!!! My back and my wife say THANK YOU for the show and tell!!!! I already have the drills but didn’t know where to get the hex adapters.
Thank you so so much for making this video! I have been looking to buy a drill and auger set, and l cannot tell you how happy this video made me!! I adore you guys and your channel! 😍
Thank you for such an informative and fun video! Excited for Bulb planting season if I can get myself kitted out with a drill and augur!
Some pretty awesome video editing skills with today’s video! Thank you for this helpful info!
Fantastic job. The video edit at the end was the best yet, professional and informative. Loved being able to see all the tools at the same time it was really helpful. 🪴✌🏻
Hi Laura and Aaron! This was a well put together video on augers and drills. I have no need for them, but seeing so many comments asking what you use and recommend, I'm sure there are many of your viewers that find this very helpful. The editing and music was great! Kudos to Ken and Aaron! Thank you so much for sharing!
My husband and I were completely rocking out with this video! ...Insert head nodding! ☺🤘
I now have Auger Envy! 💗
First time I have seen them at Lowes this summer. I ordered one from the website, then saw them at the store. Thanks for the info. My husband loves it. Makes things so much easier.
Thank you for explaining the augurs! This year I realized my knees are not quite up to digging 9 little holes with a small garden shovel plus extensive weeding in one day. 🤦♀️. I have started using your zone trick and it really helps! I, and my knees, thank you. 😊
I was waiting for this video!! Thank you so much Aaron and Laura!🤗❣🪴🌳🥀🏵
I just starting looking into getting this equipment after watching how much easier you get things planted in your garden. Perfect timing and most helpful, thank you.
Why is it so totally satisfying to watch augers in action? Bravo! 💪🎉
Thank you so much for these tips. I just purchased drill and auger that you have recommended. Can’t wait to start using them!
Rock and roll garden auger montage! Awesome moment in Garden Answer history!
Great info, great illustration, great music and great looking plants! :) Thank you!
I’m SO excited! It’s like you read my mind! I bought over 800 bulbs for fall planting and immediately regretted it, until I saw a bulb planting video using a drill and auger. I looked into the drill/auger setup online and was somewhat confused….so I stalled on the idea. Until this morning when I saw your video! Thank you SO much for the great explanation regarding different drills and augers. I immediately went to a link you posted and ordered a great package deal that exactly fits my needs. So, I think while I wait for it to arrive, I’ll cruise through a few bulb catalogs.😉 💪🏻 Thank you, thank you!
