Digging Holes for Heating Cables

This task always seems to take longer than I would like, but here I am in the process of getting each plant site ready for the heating cables. After I dig out each area (which is about 5ft. wide 6ft. long and 6-8” deep) I aerate the soil with a pitch fork. All this requires is to push the pitch fork in the ground and rock it back to “break” the soil similar to a broad fork. There is no need to turn the soil just want to ensure good aeration and water infiltration.
