It is a trade-off, you spend more time getting the LA gumbo off your diggers than actually digging. That 5 gallon bucket you drag around with you to keep the diggers wet is invaluable. I don't mind gravel-sized rocks and clay as much as I hate roots.

I agree. I grew up in north Louisiana. The "top soil" was fairly easy to dig. When you hit the Red Clay of Gumbo, it was work.

Now, When I hit a big rock I use a shorter post.
Chain Link has a top and bottom rail so post depth is not as critical.
