Then agitate with a stick. Instructions on the bag say water first, then postcrete followed by more water & agitate.
Presumably the people who make videos have nice soft ground to dig holes in. Try digging holes in brash - that's layers of stone.
We had to do that with an engine driven post hole borer. It was still a nightmare as the borer kept kicking back when it contacted a stone. Took two of us to manage it
