That's the trick I used in the drought hardened clay last year. I wanted a
second line of fence posts around the Center of the Universe garden so with
hand diggers I dug six inch holes all around and filled them with water.
Next
day three more inches and fill them with water. After ten days or so of
that,
just a little work each day, the holes were done.
