I do.  Use a short pipe until the resistance gets high, then a long pipe.  The
shaft of the screw anchor should be twisting at least 1/4 turn when you are
finished.  If the resistance gets too high to get the shaft all the way in the
ground, run water on it until you can get the eye all the way to ground level.

(By the way, I would not use anything smaller than a 6" anchor.  Even that looks a
little small, but seems to work ok.)
