Oh I see how that reads now. That was not a dig at you. I was just saying I hate those types of posts. Seeing as we are on shit post I just kind of assumed you were throwing it out there in all of it obnoxious glory
Lemmy doesn’t track your cumulative karma as far as I can tell. So it’s not really farming since you don’t even get a badge that says you have a big pp for it
My fucking back tensed just looking at this shit. Never helping plant signs again. Though it was cool the signs were made to use one of those instead of just stabbing it in the ground like those weak ass wire frame ones.
Loosen your grip right before it hits, not enough that you lose control but enough that you're not going to take much of the impact. It might take an extra hit or two, but it also might mean that you can push it down a little bit harder as well knowing that you don't have to absorb the impact
Yeah, doesn’t involve burying or getting into the actual ground itself from anything I’ve seen about it.
Using that phrase, to “plant” a sign would be to lay it on top of the ground. So it wouldn’t be wrong for a large weighted sign I guess, but the pictures about pouring something into the ground.
You said plant your feet, that has a specific definition, which is different than the one you’re using now for planting.
Language is tough. But yeah, no planting a sign is not a correct term for what you would do. Like at all, no matter how you try to stretch definitions.
Yep plant has multiple definitions, and neither is for placing signs in the ground, and it also is different in the specific phrase “plant your feet”. Neither refer to rooting.
The nuances are tough, but they are there.
Maybe provide the specific definition that you’re confusing the right one with and we could clear this up.
I actually thought this was a police tool for breaking in doors.
So according to comments it's a post driver. So far I dug holes and put my poles in. This tool seems practical for soft soil, but what do you do when living somewhere with rocky soil or with dry clay soil?
I've used one to put those skinny metal posts in that have wings on the bottom part to make it hard to rip them back out. A post hole digger is usually used for large wooden posts.
I should have been familiar with it, but the one time I put up a fence, I didn't know that such a thing existed, so I used a big mallet and a lot of hard work.
Once I was pounding a stake and got the alignment off. Post driver came down on my forehead and knocked me down. Hurt a bit but I finished the fence, which is what's important.
Just in case you're serious, this is in fact a tool for driving metal fence posts like round posts for a chain link fence or t posts for a garden/cattle fence. You slide it over the post and drive it down to hammer in the post. Way easier and safer than using a sledge.
Huh TIL. I've put up many posts, used post hole diggers and augers of various kinds. Never saw anything like this. The soil where I live has lots of clay, this device looks futile

HelixDab2@lemm.ee · 3 pts · 2y
If you're putting in t-posts, an auger is going to end up making a really big hole. An auger would be more appropriate, IMO, for a wooden post.
Hugin@lemmy.world · 12 pts · 2y
For hard soil you use a different tool. It's similar to how you have saws for wood and saws for metal.
