Not too difficult, just starting a screw -- I use a 4 foot
long pipe thru the eye and start turning. They actually
go in easier than you would think. Of course as it gets
deeper it becomes more difficult, thus the 4 foot pipe for
some leverage. You end up waking around and around
but the job has never taken more than a few minutes.
Where I have put them in Virginia there has been rock
and generally I have been lucky to be able to get by them
except one time when I just restarted the anchor 6 inches
further away.
In Ohio my soil had little rock and the anchor just went
right down.

Thanks for your input.
