Installation Instructions: Limestone Peace Pole Planting

"Planting" is how it is referred to with peace poles.

Just dig a narrow hole with a posthole digger (shown below), set the peace pole in it, and then tamp the earth back in around it, perhaps with a 2-by-4. Stone poles need a hole 3 feet deep, others need less than 2 feet. There is no need to reach the frost line.
