Just wondering what is the best way to do this. Can you get a long auger bit that goes all the way through? Or is there some other kind? Tried googling "strainer hole" and got kitchenware.
Thanks.

Yes. A willow a foot across will need 6-8 holes 2" deep 45 degrees down. Top up with a 50% glyphosate mix. I do them about a foot off the base and the bottom of any suckers.

This set doesn't have a 19or 20mm auger bit needed for gate hooks as I'm guessing that's why the op wants a long auger bit.
If op wants to drill for gate hooks, Google, 20mm wood auger bit, there usually 450mm long. See what comes up. Tool pak do supply one. A 19mm will do if that's all you can find.
these type ones, if anyone knows where to get them ?
I'll admit to not checking the sizes in the pack.
I've a set from years ago, can't actually remember what's in it, but definitely one that's a good tight squeeze for gate rides.

Tried that last time with an extension on, hard going, bit doesn't clear itself very well in a gummy strainer.

Bryce still do them I believe
25 will be too loose, need one to be a tight squeeze, they do a 20mm single drill bit.

Just worth mentioning not to hang gates off your strainers!
Gate posts should be a seperate post.
