Short or Small Concrete Plugs

• 1). Insert the end of your pinch-point digging bar or tamper bar into the ground on one side of the concrete.
  
  
• 2). Push and pull the bar back and forth to loosen the concrete within the soil.
  
  
• 3). Pull out the bar, insert it in the soil on the other side of the concrete and repeat.
  
  
• 4). Position the end of the bar under the concrete and push down on the bar to pry the plug from the hole. If necessary, ask another person to help you push down on the bar.
  
  

Long or Wide Concrete Plugs

• 1). Punch the end of your pinch-point or tamper bar into the soil around the concrete to loosen the soil.
  
  
• 2). Dig around the concrete with a shovel---removing as much dirt as possible from around the plug.
  
  
• 3). Wrap and secure one end of a wire or chain from a pickup truck or tractor winch around the concrete.
  
  
• 4). Turn on the winch. If done correctly, the concrete should pull up and out of the hole.
