If you are mechanically inclined and have a welder you can make a simple one. All you need is a piece of three or four inch pipe for the drive shaft. Get a piece of three eights plate and cut out an eighteen inch circle, mark the center for welding the pipe vertically to it. Cut a slot about two to three inches wide from the edge of the circle to the center of the edge of the pipe. Take a piece of inch and a half wide flat bar for a cutting edge and weld on the edge of the slot for a cutting bit at about a twenty to thirty degree angle. Then take about a two inch wide strip by 1/8 thick strap and weld around the top outer edge of the plate to hold the dirt on. I made a hand auger like that last year for a five foot deep hole I had to dig. Worked good. You really don't need all those spirals that a normal bit has to get the dirt out of a short hole. I don't have a camera so I can't show you a picture of the one I made.
