heavy machinery
Jonas K asked:


I am constructing a deep hole in my backyard, for a hole fort.
I have a very low budget and I do not want to use heavy machinery.
I have used shovels, but then I get to very hard material. This material takes along time to excavate with a shovel.

I want to try methods like pouring water on the soil.
Will this work?
What should I do?
