Random question of the day...

oh - and do you usually include crushed rock / gravel or just soil?

I use the end of a shovel, not the blade.

A soil tamper? Seems like the obvious choice to me.

Just make sure you get the one designed to go around pasture fence posts.

I saw one of those - but does the big square end come off?

I have a 2x4 that I cut down on the table saw a bit so that it's more like a 2x3
