Oh! Skip It!
But really folks....  If you're not in a great hurry, a hose left slowly
watering the area for a few hours  (really slowly)  will get the soil into
shape to easily pound that rod down quickly.  No one says it must be done
into bone dry soil.  After a soaking rain is a great time to do this stuff too.
Standing on a ladder as I do... as a five foot six inch giant.... is only
for the first few swings.  As long as you're not into a rock field it's more
a mental problem than a physical one.
Good luck,
