Yes, it is, but I'm trying to do some things without hiring them done,
and I can't handle a post hole digger. I will be doing well to get a
deep enough hole dug as it is, and it is on a hillside near steps
(partly excavated to pour new steps and not filled back in waiting for
completion of railing) and cement guy got a full-time job and I am tired
of waiting for him to finish the rest of that, patches need grinding, he
doesn't have a grinder; if I put them lining the front sidewalk (up to
the house), it is level and rototilled ready for the arbor and fall
planting. Also I want them surrounded with plants, possibly lilies, and
I don't want something so large it will mess up that plan although they
would adapt to concrete spaced out no doubt. I thought I would like
them better by the back steps opposite the new railing.
They are made to just poke in the ground. I don't have much invested in
them but time and work, but they are so pretty I don't want to lose them
if I can avoid it.

That's what I didn't want to do. If I want to move them, that requires
mega digging which I can't do. Otherwise that is the obvious and best
thing to do.

Please could you check your link? I got a power/utility station
schematic. I have two arbors sitting in my sunroom that need post hole
digging, been here two months, waiting for help for which I'm prepared
to pay and one a tree has to be dealt with, and they will need a post
hole digger. Too much for me.
It takes me a lot longer to get things done than other people partly
waiting for help and partly pacing myself, doing things a little at a
time.
