INSTALLING GROWBAGS USING THE PATENTED MONARCH AUGER

This tool installs in-ground fabric containers without using a separate soil auger and shovel to backfill after augering a hole in the ground. Our power auger entraps the soil inside a cylinder that encircles the blade and releases it back on the surface, making the process much easier and less time-consuming.

What Makes the Monarch Auger Stand Out

The Monarch Auger pays for itself within the first week of use, regardless of the size. Beginning operators can be expected to install 150 to 200 24" bags per 8-hour day, while experienced operators can be expected to install 400 to 450 24" bags in the same timeframe, proving it to be more than 6 times faster than using a standard auger and shovel.
When you think it can't get better, the Monarch Augers Fiberglass Coned Sleeves make the grow bag installation more efficient and hassle-free.
You can also improve your soil by adding compost, lime, gypsum, fertilizer, organic matter, mycorrhizae, moisture retention agents, pesticides, and more. The process lets the soil breathe while mixing it to provide a uniform texture.

Where It Can Be Used

The Monarch Auger works on most farm topography, from flat or uneven ground to slopes, and on various soils, such as sandy, loamy, clay, rocky, and sticky under dry, moist, and wet conditions. This low-maintenance construction tool operates consistently without regular adjustment and is best when the soil needs to be removed from auger holes. It can easily accommodate sizes up to 36" with quick setup and switching in between.
