Soil Collecting Device

Abstract

A soil collecting device is provided. The soil collecting device includes a housing with a floor and one or more sidewalls, including a rear wall and a front wall. The housing includes a soil opening that is offset from the center of the floor. The soil opening allows an auger to pass therethrough wherein the housing collects soil displaced during auger drilling for fence posts and similar applications. Handle apertures on the sidewalls allow for easy lifting and maneuvering. In some embodiments, the handle apertures are aligned on opposing sidewalls to receive a forklift therethrough. In other embodiments, a plurality of wheels and a towing handle extend from the housing for manual mobility. The soil collecting device collects and transports soil directly from post holes, eliminating the need for manual shoveling and reducing labor strain.
