Help! I went yesterday and bought a set up for a pole feeder and I can't get the confounded thing in the ground. I bought the base that you screw down and then mount the pole because I have really rocky ground and I managed to get it to within a couple of inches of where it is supposed to be, but I can't get it down any farthur. I've already busted one screwdriver using it for leverage. I can't leave it like it is either, because it's wobbly from having to work so hard at getting it in there and some of the dirt has worked loose. Any ideas?
Do you have the pole with the corkscrew end and all important base with four prongs that anchor it to the earth?
Ouch! That's a tough one. I sympathize with the rocky ground problem!
Can you get the base back out?
If you can, you could fill the hole with water, (It might soften what dirt IS there) then fill it up with loose dirt and re-screw it.
Unfortunately, if it's one of those BIG underground suckers...well, you might want to rethink it's location.
Sorry, I know that's probably not much help! :(
Use a crowbar, s. Screwdrivers are for liberal-demokkkRATs.
