I had an ES-Way tower about 50-years ago and I remember (barely) the "pack
in sand" option. I think the "bury in sand" concept would work if you could
dig the appropriate sized hole in real soil and then fill the hole with sand
packed around the pole. Otherwise, you need to forget the sand idea.

There was a recent thread about the EZ Way Wonder Ground Post.
Some people said you were supposed to bury it in sand. Are
there "loose sands" and "firm sands"? Sand is sand, right?
I don't know what to assume.
